No no.. I made a much worse error last week..
Yunki jr mkII is a handful, and is having a few tentative sits on the potty at nappy changing times, usually with nothing to show for his efforts although he’s quite happy to sit there for quite a while..
And so it went the other evening, only I got distracted and thought it would be ok to leave him there for a minute while i went through to the kitchen..
Now I am fully aware of the importance of warm praise and encouragement during potty training, with all sorts of future problems likely if the matter is not handled positively and with sensitivity..
Still, it was beyond my skill as a parent to behave correctly when my triumphant son came striding proudly into the kitchen brandishing the fruits of his labour in his hands, and a rather chocolatey looking grin on his face..
Whether he will ever use the potty again I can’t say for sure, in fact whether he will ever defecate again remains to be seen.. 🙁
