For the love of trains

Devil boy has introduced trains to the younglings and they have really taken to them) my daughter is not as keen as the boy but she does like them.

They all love Thomas the tank engine and will happily sit and watch them in the evening during the run up to bed time.

My eldest is still having accidents but he is at least making some progress and he will go to the toilet when told to and thankfully there has been no more stinky accidents. He just has also been distracted by playing the train driving game on the computer and he will not want to miss anything by going to the toilet. Once again I have had to wash my computer chair due to an accident. We will get there; the force will be with us.

My eldest has lapsed again with his toilet training

After doing so well my eldest has lapsed again with his toilet training. He has even had stinky accidents which are not nice to clean up. Sometimes I think he is getting back on track only for him to have an accident. Like today, he was dry for nursery but had a stinky accident later. I hope he passes though this stage soon. I really am beginning to think that the twins will be toilet trained before he will be.

All three of the younglings have taken to Thomas the tank engine. They have got some rail tracks and roadways that they love playing with and they have some of the take along Thomas toys that they love as well. We have managed to get some of the episodes for them to watch. I must admit that I have been enjoying watching them as well.

It was funny the other day when I caught the mouse in the kitchen. I decided to take along my eldest with me when I went to release it. When we got there I opened the box and the mouse jumped out. I thought that the mouse had vanished really quickly. Next moment my eldest is hoping about screaming ‘get it out mummy’ that was when I saw the mouse popping its head out of his sleeve. I had to take him jumper off so that the mouse could be freed. It fell to the floor and scurried away. My eldest was nipped a few times but thankfully no blood was drawn. He was also thankfully fine as soon as the mouse got out.

I have been taking pictures to take part in a fun online photographic competition. This month I managed to get some pictures of my eldest. He did really well and did as I asked him. He posed very well bless him.
