This morning, she started her usual bout of wiggling at about 7:00am. Remembering yesterday, when she was wet by the time I got her up and tried to potty her (and she didn't pee), I got up and tried to potty her in the bathroom. She was still mostly asleep and didn't go. We went back to bed. Twenty or so minutes later, she started wiggling with vigor and refused to be quieted with a boob. I figured she really had to potty now, but when I checked her diaper she was already wet. I thought I'd give her a try on the potty anyhow, since her wiggling had been so vigorous. She pooped almost immediately after being put on the potty! I sat her there for 5 or so minutes and she continued pooping, then she got antsy so I decided she was probably done. It was a total success. We caught the entire poo and she definitely communicated her need to go (which is the whole goal of the process). She also peed in the parking lot after I finished my walk today.

Potty time! Excellent!
Sterling has become quite adept at using the potty. As long as we offer her enough potty-tunities, we can catch most of the her pees and poos.

Is wiggling how she usually communicates her pottying needs? And where did she pee in the parking lot?
ReplyDeleteThis whole process is so interesting! It sounds like you guys are doing a great job..
That's awesome! I am so excited for you guys trying this. I wish I had thought of it before Sierra was 11 months old, but everything we have done since then has been very rewarding. And I think we're almost done! Yea for potties. How cute it must be to have that communication with a teeny tiny one.
