potty training day one, the openning gambit

it was a far wiser man than me who once said "you can lead a two year old to the potty but you cant make him use it". twelve hours, ten wet pairs of "big boy" pants and one actual pee in the potty later and i think we've made a good start. we've decorated the potty with stickers of his favourite things, a banana, bob the builder, thomas the tank engine, a pirate and a broccoli tree. we've established a common language " mam, dad i need a pee or poo". i'd thought we'd cracked it when brushing his teeth he said "i need a pee, i need a pee" quick as the wind i raised him up over the toilet where he made a "psssssh, psssssh" sound then said "finished". thoroughly defeated it was time for his bed.

sleep well chums.
