[ where's the potty! ]

sooooooo... my little man flynn who will be three in august is going wee wee on the potty!!! i'm so proud of him & i have to admit a bit sad because it means he's growing up! don't get me wrong i don't want a 40 year old in diapers (i actually have a bit of a phobia about men dressed up as babies!) or someone that wants 'bitty'!! [ please see video below if you are unfamiliar with little britain sketch! ]
but... yes he's growing up fast!

the easter bunny brought him batman underwear, which were a bit big, but that's the way to go, makes for much easier pulling up & down.

pooping is not as easy to master in the pot!

the other day we were in borders bookstore café & flynn was all comfy in a leather armchair... when suddenly i hear, 'mum i've done a wee wee...' i look over to see flynn kneeling in a puddle of pee! excellent! ~ well at least the chairs are leather!

luckily i've brought spare shorts with me so i clean flynn & furniture.


later on we go to the park & meet up with the boy's pal, paul. all of a sudden the boys are all shouting poo. i go over & flynn has pooped, but because he is 'commando' it fell out of his shorts & rolled in the wood mulch resembling a 'chocolate flaked truffle'!!

my older son, oscar 4, got a present for pooping in the potty, so we promised (bribery is not a nice word!) the same to flynn.

the boys have had their eye on a batman station since christmas... & are like moths to a light every time we are in a store that sells them.

oscar got really frustrated with flynn one day & shouted 'will you go poopy in the potty so we can get it!' flynn shouts back 'ALRIGHT!' sits down on the pot & performed BIG!!

we were all jumping up & down cheering!!! poo party!!

so true to our word ~ the next day we trundle off to the toy store to get the batman station. oscar wanted to go straight to it & make the purchase. flynn had other ideas & wanted to have a ride on the snoopy firetruck & take his time!!

we eventually get over there & flynn is so excited he pee's himself in the aisle!! i clean him up & mop as much as i can, but there's only so much a small pack of tissues can absorb. i stop someone who works there, explain my son has had a 'spillage' & ask for kitchen towel. she returns with some paper towel & a mop. she asks me what it is & my nose grows as i say juice... (well it kinda is!!) but i do feel slightly guilty as she wants me to hand over the wet paper towels!!

we get home & the boys are sooooooo excited!! we remove all the packaging (which wasn't too bad for a change!!) see (i can't get in my package)

anyway the boys are happily playing when i hear oscar shouting that's poo!!! oh no!! i enter the room to find oscar is indeed right!! that is poo!! all down flynn's legs, in his shoes & on the floor!!

i have a chat with flynn... asking if he knows why he got the batman station. he says yes... but... i tell him he has to do it in the potty every time!! he says why 'will i get another present??!!!' ok... someone is missing the point!
