Independence at 1 year & 10 months

This morning I needed a wee while Mummy was showering so I sat on my potty, did the wee and then emptied it into the toilet (Mummy always makes sure the potty is in the bathroom with us when she showers just in case...). Anyway Mummy was most impressed and I heard her saying on the phone later that she thinks she's pretty close to being able to go out to the shops for the day and leave me home with the cats.

Especially since I can also get water on my own when I'm thirsty ..

Hello again

Well I need to get back into the habit of posting here. I must admit my motivation dropped seriously after Granny & Grandpa's visit, I don't really feel the need to share Ben's adventures since they just experienced them all first hand ... that and I couldnt find the card reader to download files!! But here we are again ... and Ben the terrible is finally producing new & seriously blogworthy material.
We have the new "Pancake toss" game ..

And most noteworthy .... peeing in the potty! Once on Monday and twice today.. first time ever in his whole life!!!

The visitors have left ... (boo hoo)

Well we're almost back to normal I think... Mummy is still getting the house cleaned and laundry caught up but thats more to do with 4 days of rain over the weekend than the visitors. Here are some pics that Auntie Claudine send of our holiday in the Adirondacks... Mummy is once again hankering after a new camera but the SLR type now which makes her quite glad she procrastinated off the pocket camera she was looking at last year .. I think we're all going to have lists for Santa this year!!
