I'm not even entertaining the thought of potty training until the autumn, once we have a few months without any long car journeys coming up. As much I'm starting to be seduced by the tantalising proposition of burning the nappy bin I keep having to remind myself of that horrible stage of having to take spare clothes wherever you go, constantly asking them whether they need the loo and getting acquainted with far more public loos than you ever wanted to [bleurgh]. Whilst I don't have a problem with bottom wiping of a baby on changing mat, somehow when it's a toddler bending over at you it's a different matter [bleurgh x 10]. miamla - SiL has an age gap the same as yours will be and managed to get DN trained before the baby arrived. Disaster. She used her control of bodily functions to seek attention whenever her mother sat down to feed the baby....
FWIW, I think Annabelle (Annie) is most fab from your list and Beatrice, Matilda and Josephine go best with DS's name.
Nothing of any real interest to report here. DD2 being an absolute pickle at the mo. Really whiney and clingey, which is not like her at all. Wonder whether she might not be feeling well - I've been feeling sick/headachey today so maybe she is too? Naturally though, as soon as DH walked through the door she was full of the joys... Awaiting arrival of BiL tonight and his kids tomorrow for an action packed weekend with 4 under 5s for the next few days . Wish me luck, Ladies.
