These days I’m spending an exorbitant amount of time hanging around outside girls’ restrooms.
“Someone in there?” asked Master24, tapping on the door of the bathroom. Close.
Before Miss3 entered the world I’d convinced myself she was going to be a boy. I’m so glad I was wrong.
“You can’t go in there,” Tracey told me, explaining our son was in the bath. I had no idea why she thought this might be a problem.
Miss5 was standing in the bathroom with a towel wrapped around her, doing little jumps up and down and holding onto her wee wee. I knew exactly what was coming…or so I thought.
It turns out my wife and I have a different idea of what constitutes success. Mine is wrong.
Recent bouts of sickness have meant late nights and so much interrupted sleep it could probably better be described as a series of naps, but now the bugs and snotty noses have cleared up, Tracey decided to take the four older kids out of the house while Miss2 was in daycare.
“Toily! Toily! Toily!” screamed our three year old, just inches from her older brother’s sleeping head…
Miss2 is doing really well with her toilet training. This morning, after I picked her out of the cot, she raced into the bathroom, removed her own nappy and sat on the toilet to wee. I couldn’t have been prouder if she’d bashed out Beethoven’s Fifth on the keyboard.
