Hello and welcome to Word of the Week.
If you’re new here, Word of the Week is a nice and simple weekly linky, with everyone welcome to pop by and share. You reflect back on the past week and sum it up in one word. Then share your word with us in a blog post, with as little or as much explanation as you like. It’s a fun and friendly linky, so please do be lovely and visit as many of the other blogs as you can and share with them your thoughts on their words and weeks. I do comment on every entry to the linky, and if you add the Word of the Week badge to your post to help spread the ‘word’, I also tweet them out.
My word of the week this week is:
We’ve had a lovely week with Boo being with us all week. We’ve used this half term to catch up with friends and have a little recharge. Boo’s spent time rediscovering all of the things she had for her birthday earlier this month, as she’d barely had to time to look at anything until now. It’s been good to have lazier mornings, and the kids have adored playing with each other all day long.
But, lest I paint too relaxing a picture, we have also been potty training. So yes, this has dominated the week, though I suppose my word should really be toilet as that’s where Little Man has preferred to train. And he’s got it, he is now out of nappies and a ‘big boy’. Boo’s been great at helping him rush to the toilet all week, and it’s been sweet to see her looking after him. He trained in just a couple of days, so I’ll bring you a full update on that soon.
What about you? What one word sums up your week best? Please grab the badge, link up and share.
Linky opens at 6.30am Friday, to midnight on Sunday.
Ah well done Little Man! Sounds similar to Monkey and such a relief when it goes well isn’t it? Glad you’ve had a lovely half term week! Xx
I suspected it’d be fast, and it was! Thanks x
Well done to Little Man for doing so well with his toilet training and how lovely that Boo has been helping him. Sounds like you have had a great half-term and hope you have a lovely weekend too. Thank you for hosting #WotW 🙂
It has been lovely, thanks. Don’t want it to end! Thanks, you, too x
Well done to the Little Man what an achievement! My kids have all trained on the toilet, I don’t like potty’s I just don’t see the point. Although I did use one with Star, I think I used everything under the sun with her as she was so difficult (there is always one!)
He much prefers the toilet and it is easier. Ah yes, they’re all different!
We have all that to look forward too! And as for long lies and lazy mornings – what are those? I forget! Jealous! x
Ah no, I didn’t say lie ins – we’ve had none of those!!! x
Sounds a busy week – and a successful one too. Thanks for hosting x
It’s been lovely, thank you x
Well done Little Man! Boo too, for being a helpful big sister!
It’s lovely without school runs (especially when it’s raining) and sounds like you’ve had a great week, have a fab weekend x
She has been so good helping him. Yes, the joys of being able to stay inside when it’s raining! x
Well done Little Man! that’s a massive achievement.
Sounds like the kiddies had a lovely week together.
Have a lovely weekend and thanks for hosting as always 🙂 x
He’s so pleased with himself! It has been good, thanks x
Oh yay well done to the little man on training! I don’t miss potty training one bit. Although I do hope that when we attempt it second time round I won’t be sobbing 🙂
Oh no! This was so easy, to be honest. Let’s hope yours is second time round! x
Sounds like a lovely week week, I have had a week off this half term and haven’t been up before 9am once it’s been great! Lie in’s are the way to go. Well done to little man on the potty training x
Oh, so lovely you’ve had a break, too. Thank you x
Well done Little Man! glad you’ve had a nice half term
Thank you!

Well done Little Man! It’s great he’s gone straight for the toilet too and lovely to see Boo helping him, you must be very proud. Sounds like you’ve had a good week. x
Yes, so much easier and saves me emptying and cleaning a potty all the time! She’s been fab, as always. Thanks x
Oh wow how great is that we’ll done to Little Man! Bless it sounds like Little Man is so lucky to have a fab big sister like Boo.xx
He is a lucky little brother! x
That is great news…Well done Little man! It sounds like a great week for you 🙂 x
He’s done so well! Thanks x
Hi Jocelyn, how wonderful is it that your little boy has taken to using the toilet so easily. It just goes to show that when children are ready to come out of nappies they do quite readily. It’s also nice to hear that his sister is more than happy to help him too!
Thank you for hosting and have a happy, accident free weekend!
xx
Yes, it’s that exactly. He was ready so it was easy! His sister’s been brilliant, as she often is! x
Well done Little Man! Toilet training is a big achievement. It must be a relief that he got the hang of it so quickly 😉
I knew he’d be OK with it, though I hadn’t expected it to go quite that well! Definitely a relief 🙂 x
Oh well done on the ‘Toilet’ training. Sounds like you’ve had a good relaxing half term… 🙂 X
It’s been lovely, thanks x
Ah well done on the potty training. We are almost about to do that too! I bet it is going to be fun! Thanks for hosting xx
It might be fine! It was here anyway – good luck x
Oh well done its such an achievement when they finally crack it isn’t it, and yes the lazier mornings have been so wonderful. The first term is so hard and everybody ends up in so much need for a rest, I am glad you all got one xxx
He took to it so well, so even easier than I thought it would be. I’ve loved the week, not wanting her to go back! x
Awww so cute when.older.siblings teach younger ones. I’m glad you are enjoying the holiday X
She is great with him 🙂 x
If it is one thing that scares me it’s potty training. Can’t we just keep them in nappies and they eventually change their own. 😉 Thanks for hosting #WotW
Ha ha – it’s not scary! All out the way now anyway 🙂
I have seen that the potty training went very well. It sounds like you had a very nice and productive half term x
We did, thanks, though it flew by! x
