Great story! DS (20 months) is fascinated by the loo atm and constantly asks to sit on it, though nothing happens. He LOVES making his little straining noises too but always looks in the bowl rather forlornly and then at me as if to say 'why isn't there anything there? I tried!' Me, I'm trying to just go with it, but am a little bit over the constant nappy on, nappy off, put on seat, take off seat, wash and dry hands merry go round...
