Tabs off are a regalar thing

Update:

So Julia is now 11 mos old.

She now takes her diaper off completely (cover + Aplix fitted diaper) or partially (cover + CPF with Snappi) when she's soiled and throws it away on a regular basis if I've missed her cues and she's wet herself.

This is making Paul anxious because he is worrying about poo flying around.
On the flip side, I'm pleased because I know for sure now that SHE knows she's not supposed to be wet.

Had her motion at the potty twice. One time she actually peed in it, the other time was a false alarm. She's still trying to grab pee coming out or trying to watch it come out over her belly.

Trying to keep the potty in sight at all times in the hopes that she'll motion at it more often, esp. now that she's walking and she can physically take herself to it even though mentally she's not showing me she's made that connection yet.

Made me laugh today. I had a load of dirty diapers near the door since I was abotu to do laundry. She made a beeline for them and I said, "Julia, no touch." She looked at me and starting flapping her arms sobbing while running around the room in a circle.

She completed the round and ended up near the diapers and again started going for them and again I said "Julia, no touch." Arms flapping and going around the room again in the circle crying.

When she repeated the whole scenario and ended up clutching my leg sobbing I picked her up and we left the room to play in the living room instead so the diapers were no longer tempting her. It is because she likes to play with the laundry basket when it is empty.

But I had to laugh at her dilemma. REALLY wanting to play with the basket but at the same time REALLY wanting to obey me. So she ended up crying over the inner conflict and flapping her arms while running in circles.
