Potty Time!

We're doing Elimination Communication with Sterling. What that means is that we are trying to teach her to go in a little potty. At times when we think she's likely to potty, such as right when she's woken up from a nap, we put her on the potty and make Pshhhh Shhhh noises at her. Eventually she's supposed to associate the potty and the noise with going potty and she should basically potty on command. The other half of that is that we should eventually be able to recognize the cues she makes when she has to go.

We've had some success with getting her to occasionally pee on the potty. However, I've found that about equally commonly, she pees as soon as the diaper goes back on her after she's come off the potty. This could mean that we've trained her to pee in her diaper (as one would expect). We'll just have to untrain her again.

But today, she had her first poop in the potty! Admittedly, it was right after two other poops, but it still counts.
