Saying goodbye to the doodie

I was ‘working on’ M for a few weeks that she was a big girl now and didn’t need a doodie. She only used at bedtime but mummy had made the leap that it was time for it to go so it was time for M to jump too :)

Moo’s imaginary friend

‘Pretend Ellie’ Did It!! M has had this imaginary friend for over six months now, but today ‘Pretend Ellie’ became a duck!! M’s little friend is the ‘naughty’ one that does some of the things M doesn’t want to own up to, or would perhaps like to do. I think the duck help’s M avoid [&hellip
