Potty training and rock collecting!

So the lovely little lady is waking from her nap and I have found time to blog hooray! I have found that the lady is very much like me and wants to take her own sweet time when it comes to getting up from a nap. Yes I nap at the moment as it's T minus 6 weeks until D Day.  I open her curtains and blind and allow her to come to her senses which usually take around 15 minutes any other attempts by me will arouse a chorus of her new favourite phrase "no muma!" although at least at nap time she doesn't wag her finger at me.

here are a few other bumblings of the little lady of late I thought I'd catch you all up on:

1. Potty Training.  Which, after 3 days at home with nothing on but her t-shirt, the little lady is making leaps and bounds at home with Muma.  She applauds herself after doing a nice big "wawee" and is still allowed the occasional chocolate button as reward after a successful poop! She has however realised that Muma will get her out of the car or out of the high chair if she says she needs a wee and then off she trots to her own devices...cheeky monkey.  One has wised up slightly now and the little lady has learnt the word for "wait!" which she says and signs in an accurate Mr. Tumble voice.

2. Rock collecting.  If you are not, dear reader, immersed in the world of In the Night Garden and you have a toddler- where have you been?  We went for a lovely albeit stony walk on Saturday during which the little lady wanted to do nothing but pick up stones and pebbles and give them to Makka Pakka.  She's very much taking the role seriously at home as we are in the final stages of renovating our garden and every evening Muma or Dadaaaa and certainly "Meeeee" go "out-out side" to collect in a yellow bucket the inordinate amount of stones on our soon to be lawn. "For Pakpak", "yes they're for Makka Pakka..." and onto the rubble pile they go when she's not looking!

3. Testing Muma's patience.  "No Muma" with the wagging finger was cute...at first.  But after the 37th time today it's wearing thin.  Sometimes I don't have to say anything! I looked at her the other day in a way which she clearly didn't not approve of and she shut her bedroom door on me and from behind it I heard "No Muma". I was about to explode when I realised it was an all to real picture of how I am guilty of treating God sometimes and so thinking upon God's character I decided to be kind and patient and just knock gently until she let me in.

4. Co-Co turn.  This is how she says her name.  EVERYTHING is Co-co's turn even when it's really not and this is how so many pairs of knickers end up with two legs in one hole, milk ends up on the kitchen floor and I end up with back brushed hair because it's Co-co's turn!  Somethings I'm just saying no to and risking a good scolding no.3 style!

Short and sweet people just a snap shot into our recent days.
