Bloody bloody potty training

We're on attempt no. 3 to potty train Jasmine. The first time was too early. The last time, it started ok - Jambeans would happily sit on the potty in various states of undress (no wee/poo though) then after a couple of weeks refused entirely.
So we stopped.

Pause. Go on holiday. Come back. Wait for a while...

And now we're starting again. She is somewhat reluctant, despite going through the ritual of buying her pants to get excited about. And reading her potty book a gazillion times over. She quite happily fills the potty with plastic food. It's just the real, digested food stage she's bypassed completely.

She also likes to watch the entire parade of animals take turns on the potty (Porridge the Bear, Pedro the Capucin monkey, Luigi Penguini the macaroni penguin, Ed the Dog, Upsy Daisy, Big Po, Little Po, Tiger, Babydoll and the list goes on...), then mummy or daddy has a turn, then maybe Felix and then, if we're lucky, Jasmine has a go. For about 2 seconds.

I think the real problem though, is that Mummy and Daddy are a bit lazy about it all too. It's just too easy to give in and change her nappy.

Bloody bloody potty training. I really can't be arsed.
