My son.. the hair stylist...

This morning Xave found what he thinks is the best hair styling product ever.... I don't agree mind you. But he was rather chuffed with his efforts...

So what is it I hear you ask... well as some of you know we are currently toilet training Mr Xavier in this house (you are starting to see where this is going aren't you?) and while still sitting on the potty after a big...wee.. he decided to put his hand it in and rub it through his hair. NOICE.

Not only was he so impressed with himself and his new product, he also thought it was fitting that his sister (who is all but bald) needed some product too... ewwwww. Its one thing to put your own wee in your own hair.. but in someone else's.... gross.

Off to the shower for the kids for some hair washing was in order.

But while we are talking about toilet training. Lets explore how that's going in this house.

The first few days we had lots of accidents, he was wearing jocks (with trains mind you) and we were putting him on the potty every half hour. But in the afternoon of day 2, we were almost out of dry jocks and were sick of fighting with him about sitting on the potty. Internally I was screaming at Adam, he's just not ready, he's still a baby, I don't mind changing nappies. But the reality was I did. I had got myself so in the toilet training zone, that I was determined to get him out of nappies while Adam was on holidays and the thought of months and months of more of his hideous pooey nappies was too much to bear. We decided to let him just run around jockless... and voila... he started using the potty all by himself.

Since that happened, i think we have had 2 accidents, and both times they were when we tried putting jocks back on him. Granted he is still sleeping in a nappy, which is fine. We have also had some spills as our efficient little monkey tries to take the potty to the toilet himself so that he can 'flush the wees faaaaar awaaaaaay'.

When we go out, he is wearing a pull up and has so far had no wees in them, and a few wees on those little toilets they have in some baby change rooms. But for the time being, I have a butt naked little man running around the house. The funny thing is, with the weather being as hot as it has, the whole idea is rather appealing.
