I thought I should write something about Jake and his development. After all it would be a shame to lose the little details that will eventually drift from our memories. We bought Jake his potty, step-up stool and padded toilet seat lid. We thought it was a good idea because he has started to say wee and poo. He likes his potty which he calls his ‘pottis’.
He was practising sitting down on it and making wee noises, as well as amusing himself by wearing it as a hat. On Sunday GDK came to visit. We were all in the lounge. Jake was saying ‘wee’ so we whipped off his nappy to see if he would take a wee. Of course he didn’t he just capered around loving the feeling of being free from the nappy. After a while I noticed that he was standing by his toy box very still with a look of concentration on his face. Too late! I looked down and there was a big fat poo on the rug. He then trod in the poo. I scooped his frame up to take him to the shower while Amy had the lovely job of cleaning the rug.
We have put Jake’s potty away for the moment. I think we were a little premature!
