Monday 9-6-10
Lexi was squirming about an hour and a half after I had put her to bed. In my experience that usually means she has wet her disposable diaper. So, I promptly went to change her diaper and found that it was dry. I quickly placed her on her brand new Baby Bjorn Little Potty. My husband signed the ASL version for "toilet" and I said "potty." Then we proceeded to read a book. Much to my surprise, by the end of the book my 11 month old had peed in the potty! We celebrated by clapping, yelling "yea," and tooting on her train conductor's whistle (from the Baby Signs Potty Training Kit). She was happy too! That was the first time that she went to the bathroom and did not soil herself. I can only imagine that felt pretty good compared to the alternative. It's also much healthier for her skin and will likely lead to easier independent pottying when she is older. After that we read a couple more short board books and I put her back in bed without any issues. I called all of the grandparents to tell them that Lexi went pee-pee in the potty. I can only hope that we can catch a pee or poop every couple of days.
