Dear Parents,

This month I have asked my daughter to write about the potty training adventure of her 2 ½ year old son. Hope it makes you smile and gives you the courage to persevere with your child rearing adventures…

“I was making coffee the other morning when I heard grunts and struggles coming from the bathroom, I thought perhaps my little one had knocked the toilet step aside and couldn’t get off the toilet, so I went to inspect and ask if he needed help. Folding his arms in a huff, he responded “no mom, am making pooping”. It was said in such a “duh, how daft are you” kind of way, I just couldn’t help but burst out in laughter.

Despite a little incident in a friends’ blow-up pool, the potty training is going extremely well. I will admit that there were times in the beginning when I just wanted to give up and put a nappy on him and rather try again when he’s a little older, but I am so glad I’ve persevered. It is NOT an easy task, especially being mom to a boy child, because he has different parts and sometimes can’t understand why mummy doesn’t stand and wee at the side of the road with him (It was a LONG trip out to Simonstown one morning and he needed the loo, don’t judgeJ).

We no longer wear a nappy during the day and only wear one at night, though more for “just in case” than anything else as he wakes up with a dry nappy and then rushes to the loo for the typical man’s morning routine. The night nappy won’t last much longer as he’s now telling me that he doesn’t want it cause in his words “me not baby”.

Never in my life would I ever have thought that someone having a poop or wee in the right place could be so exciting and rewarding… this parenting thing seriously warps your brain I tell you! Good Luck to all Mommies busy with potty training.”

Kind Regards,
