Readers of the Mum's the Word column have often asked me how I'm going to deal with the reaction of my daughter to the knowledge that her dear old mum has been detailing nearly every aspect of her life from the very early days.
And, as with a lot of life's more difficult issues, my answer to those questions has always been: "I'll cross that bridge when I come to it."
Of course, there is always the possibility of hiding the more embarassing Tyrone Times cuttings from the wee woman when she reaches the age pf understanding what she is reading about.
This week's column will, more than likely, end up as one of those cuttings.
Yes, yes, I know our little princess will be highly upset by the rantings of her mother in this case, but it is one of those momentous occasions that simply cannot be glossed over.
For the first time ever - and despite the fact that her potty has been sitting in our house for a couple of months now - the wee woman chose a day when her dear old mum was at work, to be the day she successfully used the pink throne.
Needless to say, the Granny was the proudest person on the planet when the wee woman defiantly declared that she no longer wanted to wear her nappy and, instead, proceeded to put the potty to its best use.
Of course, the unforgettable achievement caused her very proud uncles to clap and cheer the wee woman's tour of success as she proceeded to tell anyone who would listen what she had just done.
And, despite our continued efforts since then, the hubby and I have failed to get the wee woman to do anything in the potty, other than stand inside it, or turn it upside down and use it as a seat to watch CBeebies.
Maybe we're trying too hard, maybe we're inadvertently placing undue pressure on her. Whatever the case, this potty training lark is going to be a waiting game.
No doubt the wee woman will probably be more likely to show off her new skills when she's with the Granny again but, as with everything else, as long as she is making moves towards this new phase in her life, I am more than happy.
