Kaitereo has been wanting to sit on the toilet for a while now, and while I always encouraged it, she never did anything, just sat like her sister and sang songs.
Tonight she asked to "go toilet" as usual just before bed, so off we trotted, and she sat down and did a big fart, which made us both laugh. Then she said "poos" so I said "are you going to do poos on the toilet like a big girl?" and she tried to do poos, but she ended up doing wees instead! Much cheering and celebrating followed, along with a BIG sticker for her potty.
Champion baby, her first mimi (wee) out of nappies and it's on the toilet like a big girl :) I hope this means she'll be out of nappies during the day by the time BabyDumpling arrives, it's not too much to hope for is it ?

Batts in the belfry
The windowsills are all done now, so the brickwork is done. The plumber has been in to start work on the bathrooms and toilets (you can see the little vent pipe sticking out of the roof above the ensuite). Pre-lining inspection will be happening on Wednesday, then the Gib board (plasterboard) will go on.
Internal doors have all been hung, nice double doors for the Master bedroom/playroom
The insulation you get here is called "Pink Batts" which caused me much confusion when people started talking about having "batts in your roof". The green stuff is sound-proofing batts which we have put up between the living area and bedrooms, the pink stuff just goes in the exterior walls and in the ceiling (except where you run out of green stuff and stick pink stuff in instead!!)

OMG! BRICKS!
Now they just have to do the windowsills and the brickwork is FINISHED!! Windows and doors are all in, so the house is secure and lockable which is extremely exciting.
Next stages:
Insulation in
Lining up (GIB board, ceilings, internal doors etc)
Internal painting
Fixtures and fittings
Flooring
Multi-fuel burner
Drainage, septic and water tanks
aaaaand I think that will be it. Builders are being optimistic about being done by Sept/Oct, but I reckon with all the bits we have to organise, we'll be complete around end November. Definitely in by Christmas woo!

A blurry pair of arms
The face! The little white dot in BabyDumplings eye is the lens.
