Day 18: Holding it?

Had more dry diapers today and less diapers overall than usual. Perhaps Julia is learning to try to hold it til I get her on the potty?

In any case, today went well. She's getting quicker about going once she hears the cue sound.

Paul hasn't used one disposable diaper yet today and he's pottied her twice. I haven't been using disposable wipes at home. Just go with cloth ones and save the others for days out.

We were reading her bedtime story and Paul was teasing me that I was going to make her go because Julia started wriggling around. I took her and she peed. Then he laughed and said, "I know I tease you about thinking she's peeing every second but you are always right -- she does go. You are learning those cues really well."

I made her go into an adult toilet while at my parents' house the other day so it was good practice for going in public restroom stalls.

Tomorrow we go out with family, so EC won't be as structured as it has been these few days home but I feel good about how she's coming along. I'm glad we've started this early and she doesn't fight me. I've been reading the struggles other moms have toilet training their toddlers and it sounds like a really frustrating experience!
