As you know, we've had success in toilet training Mim - apart from convincing her that she can't poo on the grass like the dog. I've also taught her how to squat as when she was running around the yard in just her undies, she'd forget to go upstairs to the toilet in time and wet herself.
Anyway - got home yesterday after riding Caitlin back from school and Mim went straight into the back yard to play with her bits of wood. I managed to ascend the stairs to get myself a drink and then went back down to check on Mim. I discovered her playing nicely ... but her jeans buttons were undone.
"Mim, do you need to go to the toilet?"
"No Mummy, I wee-weed here" (points to the grass)
I feel her jeans, but they are dry! "No Mummy, I dry!"
So I work out that she has managed to unbutton the jeans, pull them down, squat and pee, then pull them back up again. On closer inspection I noticed that she didn't aim straight - she managed to wet her left heel.
Couldn't stop laughing! Her older sister won't squat for anyone (a lovely story about a road trip to Victoria and having to hold a bucket underneath) and Mim's a squataholic. Hope she doesn't decide to do this at her party next weekend!!

aaah memories of Africa... and singapore for than matter... hmm, i seem to have travelled to a lot of 'squat toilet' countries. Maybe Mim is destined to work in third world countries helping the less fortunate and she is choosing not to get used to our 'first world style of toilets'
You can buy squat toilets in Australia.
My ex MIL put one in to her house. I still don't get why you'd choose to use one on a daily basis.
