The Potty Diaries: Too good not to share...

Too good not to share...

>> Sunday, 22 July 2012

A friend told me today how her 6 year old, who had been going to swim camp unwillingly all summer, won 1st place in the back-stroke race at the end of the season.

When she congratulated him on doing so well and swimming so fast, this was his reply:

"Well, I really don't like backstroke, so I just decided to get it over with as quickly as possible."

Whatever works, eh?

After 5 1/2 years of blogging I have finally turned on the word verification thingammyjig. 3 months of deleting 50 + spam comments a day will do that to you. Please bear with the incredibly annoying word verification whilst I try to sort the problem and/or find a better solution; for now I would love it if you would still go to the trouble of commenting...

Potty Mummy

Moscow, Russia

Dictionary definition of Potty: 'somewhat silly or crazed, addlebrained'. I started this blog to share the benefit of my - admittedly limited - experience of potty training my two boys, and to show that whilst it can be hell, it also can be done. All things must pass though (thank goodness - my sons are now 8 and 6), and potty training for us has been consigned to history, so this has become more of a blog to stop me becoming potty than about the potty. And if you can understand my twisted logic, I hope you enjoy these extremely subjective anecdotes on being a stay-at-home mum transplanted to Moscow and still coming to terms with not also being a career woman. Really. You'd think I'd be over it by now; it's been 5 years since I last worked in an office - and went to the loo with the door shut - after all... You can also find me writing as Clare Taylor on Powder Room Graffiti and in the blog section of the Moscow Times on 'Diaries of a Moscow Mum'.

And be polite. The moment I put pen to paper or fingers to keys, all content, photos, or images on this blog (unless otherwise credited) are copyright me, me, me.
