James grabbed a new fancy toothbrush while I grabbed some cheap blusher. We stopped for a costa, ice tea and caramel slice for James and headed to the library.
It was lovely and quiet until we let Henry lose.
I fancied picking up some books on toddlers development and whilst I was there grabbed a potty training one. We decided it might be worth introducing Henry to a potty and to see how it goes. No pressure. We thought that when he has an accident on the floor (usually while he's naked running around waiting for the bath to run) he comes to get us and points at the puddle and says "ooooooooh" which to us means he knows it's not right. So we thought it would be fascinating to see how much he picks up on using the potty between this time. All the information in the books are conflicting and I've asked advice from my parents but one thing I thought was interesting is "never underestimate your child's intelligence and by the time they are two years they find it more challenging to follow guidance and are not so happy to please" so who knows! Let's see how it goes :)
James had hockey at 3 so I set off at 1 to meet my friend Jay in soft play. We haven't see each other for nearly a year so it was nice to catch up. He's really good with Henry too.
For Jay, we played on the arcade games. Henry loves the steering wheel and when I popped a £1 in to play he was thrilled! It was funny as they take a picture of you to go on your profile while you race and I managed to get a snippet of the picture....
Jay came back for a cuppa tea and we managed to have a proper catch up. Hard to speak in the soft play especially on a half term Saturday! It was horrible.
James's team won 1-0 against Herne Bay and he was awarded man of the match! So he was buzzing when he came home.
Dinner of a tuna stir fry and bed! Busy super lovely day xxxx
