I have been considering toilet training but each time I consider it I put it off again. Sure it isn’t going to be the most pleasant of experiences but it does need to be done. I thought I was putting it off because it was going to be an effort or because there will be messes or because Wrigglebot may not be ready but I think I have really been putting it off because it is the last hurdle of infancy.

Already I have stopped breast feeding him, holding him in the bath, making food especially for him, carrying him everywhere, putting him in a cot, feeding him by hand and nappies are the last step before I have a grown boy. No longer will he be dependant on me for any basic life skills. Now of course he will still need me but it won’t be the same. ‘Snap out of it’ you say, ‘he has to be out of nappies sometime and your life will be easier in the long run.’ Yes, I know, but sometimes I just feel myself feeling slightly nostalgic for the baby Wrigglebot who I will never see again.
