I am probably a terrible mother. I don't have a little song to sing when I take daughter number one to the toilet, I don't write a family newsletter every time she successfully does a wee like I am sure good mothers do. Most of the time I don't nag her enough about regular weeing so that the other day she ended up having a "little accident" on the sofa whilst watching tv with Daddy.
They had gone downstairs together early on a weekday morning. For D1 this mean cereal and a chance to feed her CBeebies addiction. For Husband it was a chance to try and have a cheeky nap whilst earning brownie points with me as I thought he had got up early to sort out the children.
He, also probably being a terrible father, had no thought to nag D1 into having an early morning wee. This is the start of where he went wrong.
He dutifully gave D1 the desired cereal, switched on the desired tv programme and promptly fell into a childrens tv related coma (any parents of small children will appreciate this. You are not necessarily asleep but the lights are on and no one is home!!).
It is hard to say at what point D1 had her "little accident", probably somewhere between Zingzillas and Mr Blooms Nursery, but we cant be sure.
The first Husband knew of it was when she shook him awake shouting "Daddy wake up. The sofa is wet!!"
She then proceeded to explain to him that she had had a little accident, gone upstairs, changed her pyjamas, been for a poo (she does love to proudly share that achievement everytime!) and come back down to wake him up.
It was at this point that he realised that it was not just the sofa that was wet. Thats right folks not only had D1 wee'd all over Daddy but he had slept through the whole thing!!!!
If this wasn't already funny enough the best part is that within a few hours D1 had completely re-written the story to "Daddy did a wee on the sofa..."
Its an interesting statement to try and explain at baby group I can tell you!
