The writing is on the wall for my daughter and her dummy. I’ve been making a few gentle suggestions that now she’s a big three-year-old, she doesn’t need a dummy. Her look of displeasure is much like that of Marlon the monster up there on the cover of Jill Murphy’s The Last Noo-Noo.
Toilet training. Two small words that are often met with exhausted sighs and desperate faces from parents willing to take on any suggestions that might encourage kids to use a toilet.
