Pool has finally started and I now have a whopping great big hole in my backyard along with heaps of mud!!! Trust the rain to start the minute they wanted to dig the hole (not that I am complaining about the rain) so they have been a bit delayed. They are back tomorrow to hopefully finish it. I have posted some pics on facebook. Kids are loving it, bobcats and diggers in their backyard! Its great to finally see some action and it should be finished in about 8 weeks. I just have to live with the mud for a bit longer.
Marley is finally doing wees on the toilet Its so exciting. The breakthrough came when she needed to do a wee in the shower. Rather than get her out, I told her to just wee in the shower and the wee will go down the plug hole. She looked a little confused but then let go and out came the wee. She couldn't stop laughing, then wanted to get down on the floor of the shower to look down the plug hole!!! Then that night she said she wanted to do wee, I took her to the toilet and BINGO! She did it. And she has been doing it ever since. We went to the shopping centre yesterday and it worried me having her in undies but I did it and she told me that she needed to go, so I raced off a quick as I could not knowing if she could hang on. Got to parents room toilet and a little boy was in there. Race to the ladies next door, there's a queue! Race back to parents room and the mum kindly asked her son if he was finished (which he said he was) and to hurry up. I thanked her and got in there as quick as I could. I reckon we just made it as the minute she sat down, out it came!!! I was very proud that she managed to hang on. Poo is another story - no poo in the toilet but almost daily a nice big poo in her pants. Thankfully she does firm poo. I hate cleaning it up. But I can't complain too much, at least she is weeing so thats a start. Will work on the poo!
