At the risk of Murphy’s Law and the Parenting Law that states any bragging of children will immediately follow with exact opposite behaviour from said children and of course I will make sure I say mashaAllah so as not to draw the evil eye to myself or my children and I am sitting here touching away at a wooden table – it’s that awful chipboard stuff does that count? I will say this :
2 year old is out of nappies! MASHALLAH!
He has taken to the toilet like a fish to water (well not quite)
We still have the occasional accident but it’s surely been the quickest of the three children so far. He actually gets the whole OOOHHHHHH I NEED TO DO IT IN THE TOILET NOW? thing as opposed to my eldest who didn’t quite get it until about 6 months into it. Penny dropped a bit too slowly for him unfortunately (for both him and mum)
—————————-
Brag #2 is that I have the day off today. I did the grocery shopping without incident (oh and who said the grocery bill would be less after toilet training?? LIARS) and the children are playing like angels right now and did so while husband, 2 year old and MYSELF actually had a nap! Husband and 2 year old are still kipping and I am making cupcakes in a minute. WITH ICING. WITH SPRINKLES OF HUNDREDS AND THOUSANDS. Eh. Life’s good.
—————————
Brag #3 is the weather is divine. We have the sky completely black from threatening storm clouds. So ominous. I love it.

Edited to add – He still wears the nappy at night.
mashallah mashallah… congrats on the potty training!!!
and enjoy it!!! you know the peace usually ends waaay too soon!
Wow, my almost 5 year old still wears nappies in the night! I can’t brag now, can I?
Potty trained….way to go! I think we got a bit way to go as v3 JUST started talking
But I think he will catch on quick once we initiate.
I know shaz! When the children get along, mashaAllah they get along so well but when they are grumpy – my gosh, they practically loathe each other!
Achelois – My little one still wears the nappy at night – we leave him to sleep then put it on when he’s fast asleep. He wakes up every morning wondering why he has a nappy on! Don’t stress – his time will come
Mousehunter – He never needed to do much talking- is he shaz’s favourite that he only needs to make a small noise and she will come running? My little one is like that.
Welldone to 2yo!
I havent even attempted this one with my toddler. He is still breastfeeding. I wish he would snap out of it! But at the same time I still want him to be my baby for longer.(Catch22)
yay!!
reasons to gloat alright!
umm-fi-ard – I am in the same boat with the feeding thing. I figured I’d wait until the toilet training was finished with before I began weaning him but now I’m looking for another excuse to keep going.
Mona – yay!
