Potty training [8] update + Christmas

I've been plodding along with the potty training, generally letting Bug lead the way. Last week or so he really wasn't interested anymore and whenever I asked him if he needed to use the potty he would say no. 

Last few days have been better. Using the potty the majority of the day, coming and asking me first. I did make the step from pull ups to pants. We've had a few accidents which were easily cleaned up. One of the times he went and sat on his potty without taking his pants off first! Today he has been dry/no accidents since he got up. He's now napping so I'm expecting a wet nappy when he wakes! Yesterday and today he's been holding himself when he needs to pee so it's really noticeable when he needs the potty. My clever little man. 

Christmas is three months and two days away! This year has been so fast. I'm feeling a bit lost what to get Bug. I did have a look at the leappad 2's but I really don't think they're for us. I have a tablet myself and I have put some child apps on it which Bug does enjoy. One of the apps is a piano one and he just loves the sounds it makes. To be honest I don't feel comfortable with the idea of my son sitting playing a tablet on his own. When he plays the piano app I'm sitting with him, playing songs with him etc. I think the leappad would be more geared towards the child playing by themself and my son loves to play with other children or mummy! 

I did buy a HappyLand train set. It was better than half price. Bug loves trains so I'm sure it will be a hit. My mum also ordered the train set for my nephew N. I also ordered a playmobil set, mainly because it was half price, but I'm not sure if it will be a Christmas present or a put away for later present. 

I asked my sister what she needs for the boys. I really don't want to get them toys because they have so many already. I suggested taking her to Next to buy the boys an outfit each and she liked that idea.

What else...? Bug needed new pyjamas so I've ordered three pairs from mothercare. I also ordered more vests and pants. Thought I might as well make the most of the free delivery! I also ordered a new winter coat for Bug. It's gorgeous. I love it and can't wait for it to get here. I also got a discount which is even better. Last year's coat is in size 18-24 months so I don't see it lasting much longer. The new one I ordered is 2-3 years so should get a good bit of use out of it. 

I'll just need to get him some welly boots since the weather is getting much wetter. Then it'll just be some thicker trousers and some long sleeved tops and jumpers. Winter is definitely on it's way!
