Toilet training breakthrough!

At 2 years, 1 month and 4 days old, Nicolas has for the first time indicated that he needed to go to the toilet.

He started going to the toilet at around 7 or 8 months old, able to control some of his bodily functions enough to respond to prompts whenever being held over the toilet.



Then a few months back we put a toilet training seat on the toilet, along with a little step stool, and led him there at each nappy change and before and after sleeps/naps.

BLISS! For a whole week last week, I did not have to deal with a single dirty nappy, just wet ones. Then Friday at daycare, day-long outing with Daddy to Goat Island Reserve on Saturday, a whole afternoon spent at the kids' Christmas party organised by my work on Sunday, stayover at Oma's on Monday and I was back to square one and wondering how I was going to get it going again... Till the magic word came out of Nico's mouth: Caca?

Yep. As Bas says, the joy of parenting. Never thought that I'd be so excited about poos.









We attended the Mangere Bridge Santa Parade earlier today and were in the double-decker bus. Couldn't get Nico to wave. Felt like Bean was waving from inside the whole time.
