we're not really toilet training, but Wolf peed in the toilet yesterday. Woohoo!!

It was almost bath time and I couldn't be bothered putting another nappy on for half an hour (but he had pooed... so it had to come off). I asked him if he wanted to go with or without and he said without. Told him he couldnt pee on the carpet but would have to tell me if he had to pee. Sure enough he did 5 mins later. Thought he was just repeating what i Had said, but no - to my surprise he did a little wee!!

I am actually more excited about the fact that he let me put him on the toilet without kickung up a fuss (as he used to).

He said "pee" again today when we were done with parent/kid swim at the gym but he did not pee when I put him on the toilet (but again, he was happy for me to put him on the seat)

Michelle/Mooshien - what a lovely present from your mom. Arrrg on the inlaws... how inconsiderate... did DH tell them how hurt he is? My inlaws didn't call on Wolf's first birthday last year. I was very upset. And then the next day when MIL called, she just talked and talked about SIL and did not even ask how Wolf's birthday went or wish a belated happy birthday. DH called afterwards and had a go at her - needless to say MIL cried and said that that was the reason she had called and it just slipped her mind (she had japped on to me for 50 mins about SIL... hmmm)... ANYWAY, cutting a long story short: They supposedly HAD thought of Wolf on the day but thought we would be out or whatever ... they all felt really bad... so... just trying to say.. maybe they did think of Jessica but didn't know whether it was appropriate to call or something.. OR maybe not... who knows... but DH should probably tell them.

Christy - rotfl ... wow - Wolf has never asked to sleep yet... but when knackered will go down for his nap without any fuss (chasing them around is really great, isn't it)

Hi Erin! Welcome to the grouP!

Kellee - IKWYM re. lack of social contact. I'm already signing me and the kids up for all sorts of activities in Switzerland (fingers crossed we are really moving)

I better get some sleep. We had a shocking night. It's so hot here in Europe at the momenet and Wolf and Zara don't sleep well.
