Most of this entry will be behind a cut because I can't see the topic interesting the majority of my flist, but let me just state some awesome now:
Two weeks ago, when Soëlie was only 5.5 months old, she verbally signaled me that she needed to pee. We systematically do two things when we think she needs to go: first, ask her, "do you have to potty?" while making a hand sign (thumb between index and middle finger, hand twisting side to side), second, make a psssss sound while holding her in the potty position (this changes to a grunt if it turns out she needs to pass stool.)
So, there we were, lying in bed, and she looks at me and goes, "Ptthhhhh."
Not quite believing it, i asked her if she needed to go and held her over her little red bowl. And lo and behold, she voided!
Of course, just once could be a coincidence, but over the next two days, she did it five times, and the fifth, I didn't take her. She peed on herself.
Since then, she has been making the pthhhh sounds AND/OR moving her hand. I must say, I'm the mommy of one awesome baby!
( No diapers? Are you crazy? )
