I am not yet winning the battle of the clothes.

I get them on him but within 2 minutes he has flung them all to the four corners of the garden – and he’s becoming quite inventive about places to stuff them so I won’t find them again! It probably doesn’t help that we’re having some lovely warm weather – not the best time for me to be insisting on clothes!

Still, on a positive note at least Toby is now starting his bouncing sessions with some clothes on and my quest to get him to keep them on will continue, although I will definitely focus my efforts on stripping off in inappropriate places and save the garden battle for when the weather turns colder again.

Thanks so much for all of the tips and advice left on the previous post about his stripping off. There were some very useful points raised about keeping his clothing soft and light and having a set of clothes that he associates with wearing in the garden – a bit like a bouncing uniform. All of which are really going to help in my quest. I’m hopeful we’ll get there – one day! Potty training isn’t fairing any better either but we always knew it was going to be a long a slow process for our boy.

His achievements are small and slow but one day I hope to write excitedly here about his first wee on our toilet and maybe even one day in the future I’ll be joyfully telling you about his first ever word.

One day.

Maybe?

Hope is a wonderful thing.
