Sugar and spice ... who said that anyway?

Sugar and spice and all things nice... hmmm... who said that anyway?

Well if that is generally the case it sure doesn't fit my little cupcake. What do you do when you know something dreadful is going to happen, given time... only you don't really know what to do to prevent it?

Rosa has started using the potty. I tend to let the mornings be her running back and forth to the potty session but by the afternoon (when I am exhausted with her many trips and a few minor accidents) I put the nappy back on. Well after nap time she has started deciding that she really needs the potty... and decides to prepare herself by removing her nappy... that is the accident I knew was potential for danger...

Well today was the outworking of that disaster... after putting her down for a nap... and waiting for the silent indicator of dreams of sugar and spice and all things nice... I began to hear "ehh... yuck!" and then "Mummy... potty..." and then "o - oh!" etc. etc. I could only imagine... but was hoping to be wrong.

All I can say is my girl aint all sugar and spice and all things nice...

at least until after her bath (and bed sheets, clothes, etc. have all been emptied and scrubbed and washed!)

only then is it safe to plant a kiss upon her sugar coated nose!
