- Read 'The Tubby Custard Mess' for after-breakfast-potty-sit (31st time this week)
- Were late for swimming class
- Got changed extra quick
- Giggled in swimming class
- Got changed extra slow
- Took Anna-m's new toilet seat with us to the loo
- Thought up anything and everything to get her to sit on it
- Left the loo with only the grown-up having gone
- Went to visit the creche to get her (pretend) and me (this is the truth) used to it
- Wiped up biggest pee in history from creche floor
- Told the creche workers 'She is potty-trained, really'
- Ate mini gherkins dipped in houmous for lunch again
- Had total stand-off when toddler pooed in her pants 30 secs after getting off potty
- Made-up big-time
- Spent quarter hour not speaking after second poo in pants
- Made-up, just, after the Bim called with cunning-return-to-Star-Chart-plan
- Did face-painting: a pink tiger(her, done by me); a strange culty person (me, done by her)
- Ate an enormous bowl of pasta for tea; ate a couple of penne. Guess which one which.
- Sat at nursery room window watching the rain and waiting for the 'light'. Thrill of her first storm. Mother's heartstrings twang.
- Endured tantrum when told could listen for thunder no more
- Wiped the tears away when told loo seat she wouldn't hear of this morning not available now
- Cried end-of-the-world-tears when told to leave window to brush teeth
- Sang 'Happy Birthday Anna-mouse', cut the candles, handed out slices of cake
- Screamed in protest at being put into cot with no more songs
- Hugged and kissed with promise of one more song
- Sang 'Happy Birthday Thunder'
Result:
- Child content
- Mother on gin.
