A few months ago now we breached the much dreaded (on my part) milestone of potty training with Isabella. I was dreading it for many reasons, partially because I worked in a nursery during the summer of my degree and saw the mess that can be created and partially because having two children to look after is hard enough without the addition of potty training too. However when a lot of our NCT friends started potty training their children I started to wonder whether it was our time too. After many discussions with fellow mummies, buying all the paraphernalia that comes with potty training and setting a date in my head (and telling nursery so I was committed!) we were all ready for the big change.
