Well, it was my turn to be up early with the boys - I can’t complain, Max seems to be sleeping through now and Zack didn’t wake til 8am. I got both changed and dressed and there began our quest - Day Two of Potty Training the Toddler.
He had an accident almost straight away - he did tell me he needed but just couldn’t hold on in time for me to get him into the bathroom for his potty. No problems, we just cleaned him up and popped on some freshy undies and trousers. He’s been on the potty 6 times today and only one minor accident during that time. He’s even done some poos in there… I was tempted to take a picture for you but I figured there are lotsa people who do that already 
We finally got the front garden cut today - a combo of J trying to get our ickle flymo to work, which got us most of the middle done, and our neighbour who had one of those uber strimmers for major gardening, he seemed pretty happy to help us out and did right around the edges for which I’m sooo grateful, we’d never have got it done otherwise!
Zack was outside all afternoon, came in around 4.30pm, had some food, decided to go to his room and was fast asleep on his bed 5 minutes later. Bless him he was totally shattered. I’m gonna regret leaving him there at 6am tomorrow, but there was no point in waking him - he was totally gone!
This evening the cat-lady came and went over all the ‘advice’ for taking care of the cat, inspected the back garden etc. The main thing she kept saying over and over again was “MUST NOT BE LEFT OUTSIDE UNSUPERVISED!”. I nodded and agreed to it but for goodness sake - it’s a cat, they’re MEANT to be allowed outside aren’t they?? It’s what they DO! Just not for the first month or so to make sure he knows where home is…
SO! That means I get to pick up lil Gizmo tomorrow - YAAAAAAAAAY!!!!! /happydance SQUEEEEEEE *jumps around like a happy-mad-woman*! Gotta go pick up a litter tray etc tomorrow morning before I go down to get him. Can you tell I’m excited? CAN YOU?? I’m gonna keep the name Gizmo, my brother had a cat named Gizmo once, so it’ll always remind me of him, since I don’t get to see him much. (The brother, I can’t really remember the cat).
I’m gonna have more camera-fodder! Ahem, I meant… a new wonderful addition to our family, of course!

Potty training?! Woo!
And yay for getting to bring Gizmo home. After a week or so, he will know where he lives and hang around. Or at least, our cats did.
