Potty training

We started to give potty training another go when we got in from town Saturday morning. We'd tried a few times before but Eth always had a meltdown as soon as you mentioned the word 'potty'. This time was no different. As soon as the nappy was off and he was presented with the potty he had a 45 minute meltdown. Eventually we got him to calm down and left him to it. We kept asking if he needed a wee and each time it was a no. Then out of nowhere he started crossing his legs so again we asked him if he needed a wee and pointed to the potty. He went over and missed to begin with but managed to get the rest of it into the potty. Success!! From then on he would go and sit down and have a wee each time we asked him. By the end of the day he was starting to take himself to the potty without us asking. Sunday we had a meltdown again but by the end of he day he was again taking himself over and having a wee. Today (Monday) I've barely had to ask him if he needed to go. He's gone on his own (one accident) and he even managed to have a poo on it! Amazing! I am such a proud mummy right now. If only someone would give me a sweetie when I went to the toilet. 

Slight side note. Things are looking great with the photographer for the wedding and the day invites are in the post :)
The little girl is growing fantastically and her eye is being sorted after being passed around several times and told to wait for her 8 week check up it turned out she needed antibiotics since day 1.
