That's not good news, MummyElk, but at least you are in the right place and scooby is right, it might mean you are holding an elklet before too long because I can't believe they'd leave you lying around making the place look untidy for a whole month. I hope you got some sleep.
sarah, Elliott is such a star! A needs to be told to go, he hasn't quite made the connection between needing to go and actually taking himself off yet, but the boy has a bladder like a camel's and he can go for hours without a wee. His nappies are dry overnight, even. So we're getting there. Scooby, there are loads of potty training threads on here and there's a list of signs that they are ready - can't remember them all but I found it really useful with DD to know when she was ready.
I want a girl again though. Boy terrible twos are worse than girls', I've decided. Admittedly now is not a great time to be battling with anyone for me though, and he's soooo cute sometimes too, that may be we'll keep him a bit longer.
Big hugs, Rinders, it's so nice to see you! Erm, I can't help much on the catch up side except that it's quiet round here mostly. There are a couple of new babies around/imminent and a couple of house moves. It's good to hear you've got help and support around - we're here if you ever need to let off steam too.
