Thomas is getting so big — taller, stronger, learning new things every day! Today a brand-new friend is coming to stay. Ooh, what could be hiding inside that box?
Wow — it's a little potty! Round and friendly, teal as the sea, with tiny bear ears on the sides. Thomas leans in close for a good long look. "Hello, new friend!"
Thomas tries just sitting on it first — gently, slowly, no hurry at all. "Hmm, not too high, not too low… pretty comfy!" Beside them, Teddy nods along.
Sip some water — glug, glug. Munch some fruit — nom, nom. Deep inside, the tummy is getting a little signal ready. Thomas's happy feet swing back and forth under the chair.
Ooh! A wiggle and a gurgle in the tummy — that's the signal! Thomas freezes mid-play, eyes wide, listening hard. "Oh! I know what THAT means!"
Run, run, run — pitter-patter down the hallway! At the very end, the little potty sits waiting like a patient friend. "Little potty, wait for me — here I come!"
Success! Thomas did it — really, truly did it! Sparkles dance in the air, and Teddy cheers with both paws up high. Thomas jumps and jumps. "I DID IT!"
Flush — whoosh! Then wash, wash, scrub the bubbles, until two fluffy bubble mittens appear. "Look — I did it all by myself!" Thomas holds up the bubbly hands, ever so proud.
Another golden star goes on the chart. One, two, three… almost a whole shiny row! Thomas stands on tiptoe and presses the sticker down just right, nice and straight.
"Bye-bye, diapers! Thank you for everything — but look, I'm a big kid now!" Thomas holds up the brand-new big-kid underwear and waves a cheerful, grown-up goodbye.
