CTK..Do

"Thank you! Thank you!!"

Number Four nephew has just gone pottie for the first time, and it has caused a great deal of excitement in this house. After copious amounts of drink were consumed with supper, his mother decided it would be a good time to bring out the plastic throne. While he'd shown interest in the proceedings in the past, this was the first official try.

So there he sat, in the middle of the kitchen, nekked, the centre of attention and delighted with it. Every now and then he'd say "Pee in the pottie" and someone in his admiring circle would chirp back "Yes, pee in the pottie!" and tell him to "Sit down. Keep it in there." And he would happily oblige...sitting down and keeping it in.

'Till mommy took a look and discovered: there was pee in the pottie! And the house errupted in jubilee, for Number Four had peed in the pottie! Hooray! What pride! What rejoicing! Then the little nekked one led the procession to the grown-up pottie and everyone crowded around to watch his efforts be flushed away.

A big fuss was made, and as everyone offered their congratulations he would gleefully say "Thank you! Thank you!" pleased as punch with his accomplishment.

Oh to be two.
