Toilet Training.
"It's okay I can look after him if you like." Lily said as she watched little Harry toddling over to his daddy, "You are pretty busy as it is.'
"No, no I'll do it Lils" answered James as he picked up his little Harry and hugged him. "After all I am his father and It should be up to me to help toilet train the little gaffer."
"But I don't think he is quite ready yet to use the potty." Lily said anxiously. "He's too young."
James snorted and then laughed as he winked at his son. "He isnt too young to learn. Our boy is very smart for his age and it won't be long before he will want to be treated as a big boy."
Lily sighed and shook her head knowingly as James proudly carried their little boy into the bathroom and set him down beside the tiny potty.
Harry looked wide-eyed at his daddy who was explaining how to use the object that sat there waiting for him to do his business in it.
A short time later Lily was walking by the bathroom with a load of freshly laundered linen to make up the baby crib when she overheard James pleading with Harry who was stubbornly refusing to use the potty. Chuckling quietly to herself she continued on her way.
Meanwhile Harry was furiously sucking on his thumb while quietly refusing to co-operate with his daddy with stubborn defiance while glowering at the inoffensive potty.
"It is a little boy potty just for you to use." James told him.
"No." Harry said as he continued to suck on his thumb.
"Please try it." James asked pleasantly""No...wont!" Harry responded once again.
Will you please try it? I'm asking nicely!"
"No!"
"Just once that's all I ask!" James pleaded.
"No!"
"Just one teensy weensy try!"
"No."
"Please try it" James asked again.
"No!"
"Come on, it isn't that hard." James coaxed the small child who was staring at the inoffensive potty.
"No!"
"You are getting to be a big boy, you can do it."
"NO!":
"Very well then!"
"?"
"Okay then I guess Mummys right... you aren't ready."
James sighed and reaching down picked the baby up and hugged him but to his dismay a very large wet mark spread across his robes.
"YES!" crowed baby Harry happily.
