What do you think might be the wetter past-time? My beloved Husband, Uncle Al decided that a powerhosing of the drive was long overdue and headed out in his wellies leaving me in the house with a normally clever 2yr 8mth old in a pair of big girls pants for the second day.
To say that Tesco's was sold out of pants after yesterday's attempt to encourage my delightful daughter that wee wee's should be done in the potty or the toilet is an understatement. People in waders were seen with yard brushes brushing the wee out the front door in waves. She seemed interested only in sitting on the purpose-built duck seat to look good. Then she would jump of and triumphantly open the flood gates. I had of course lifted the rugs in advance, but she managed to pick the lock of the lounge door to drop her first fountain on the new carpet there. She doesn't just like to do the same wee in one place either. Today she managed to wee in the kitchen and then follow me along the hall and target the first two stairs. In fact she's obviously going for making her mark in every room in the house. So far the bathroom, shower room and downstairs toilet are the only rooms she hasn't actuallywee'd in - yep - the only ones where there is a toilet.
So Auntie Di's advice for the day is, do your potty training naked in the garden - or get a large cork. It's a lot less hassle and dryer for all concerned.

Somehow I can't imagine Uncle Al in big girls pants nor for that matter doing some work. I mean outside the house of course, I've seen him at work in the kitchen though.
Iona is marking her territory for later in life when you both (Al 1st of course, he's older) are residing in the room previously used as a store - the garage.
So you intend to train Iona while naked in the garden. Now photos of that will be interesting. You could write a book - How to train potty train your child naked!!
