Number 1

Euan is showing Rhona where number one is on her calendar and has already found it on his. Rhona has already looked into opening it like a book! I helped to open them and as I turned to help the other, each calendar was torn! Two sellotaped calendars now but neither child seems concerned.

We took Suzanne to the station today to say cheerio until next year. Was really lovely having her to stay and I will miss her company.

I bought Rhona knickers the other day, but the smallest Tesco or Primark (both £2.50 for 7) had was 18-24 months so they are a bit big but I am reluctant to spend £4 in mothercare for 3 pairs to get the smaller size! She has been doing well with using the toilet and I would say that for about 80% of the time she will tell me she needs, but only if she is undressed. When she is wearing pants or nappies (when out) maybe 20% success so we are just practising in the house at the moment. She is not so keen on the potty but will happily tell me she needs to go and lead me through to the toilet. Not ideal as it is much easier to take a potty out and about rather than dangling her over a toilet seat!
