Meeting Marianne and My Carry Potty

James and Michelle with their daughter Marianne

We were at home most of this weekend, mainly playing with Eve and continuing with potty training, which she is doing brilliantly with now. We don't have many accidents these days. She tells us when she needs to go by saying 'Wee wee out.' The process is getting much easier which is great.

I'm just about to buy My Carry Potty. One of my friends has used this with her two children and fully recommends it. 

I'm really hoping that it will hook over one of the arms on our pram, as we don't drive in Bristol much and I'm thinking that it will be useful to take out with us if we're going to the park or walking to the shops. Eve has been going to and from nursery in pants for the past couple of weeks and we haven't had any accidents en route thankfully. But I'm going to buy one of these anyway as I think it will be really useful.

Eve and Daddy in Victoria Park

On Saturday afternoon we met James and Michelle with their baby Marianne. I met James 20 years ago when were studying Art and Photography at St. Austell College in Cornwall. It was lovely to see their baby Marianne for the first time, she is a real cutie pie.

From our meeting in the pub we then wandered across the road to the park. Eve had a good time, though she managed to pull off a rather slow-motion manoeuver face first into the ground at the bottom of the slide. She was a good girl and didn't cry, and even 'got back on the horse' so to speak and carried on enjoying herself.

It was a wonderful autumnal day in the park, lots of beautiful colours surrounded us. Last week Eve was taken to the park on a nursery outing to collect leaves for their wall display, so she loved squatting down on the way home examining grass and leaves. Over the last couple of weeks Eve has started calling her muslin cloth that she takes to bed, 'Minnie.' Quite amusing!
