Hi there @wendy55 ...what a lovely post. Just had news a few minutes ago that my grandson has finally made his first wee in the potty. His mum says that they are so proud and excited. I'll bet that five years ago, they would never have thought that toddler urine could have evoked such parental pride and rapture!!! I've been busy with my (surprise surprise) knitting as I have a niece expecting a girl after three boys. She has asked for anything except blue, and the frillier the better. She has released the beast. I've trawled through my stash of patterns, some vintage as far back as the 2nd war. Patterns include knee warmers, elbow warmers and kidney warmers, as well as spencers and bloomers. What a giggle. So I have a plethora of frilly pink knitted squishiness almost ready to post to the UK in time for her December baby. I also have another grandbaby due in February here in Sydney, so have been making gender neutral goodies for 3-6 months just to get me started.
