My DS started saying Please this week, and sadly it wasn't me who taught him. She has also taught him he must be sitting down to eat.

My friend when she was looking after my DS when I was working full time about three years ago potty trained him in 5 days flat.

Nothing specific, just that she is like Wonder Woman and brilliant with DS - I stopped phoning unless I had something specific to mention after the 3rd day of being at work. I really trust her and her children are so lovely that I know DS is fine in her hands.

She tells me all the news of the day and how the feeds went and she entertains him brilliantly - I think he is definitely perkier these days because he has so much fun xxx
