15.5 mos Old

Not quite 15.5 mos.

Down to 2 cloth diapers in pack, and really not needed for her. More for ME and my peace of mind. Not sure when my confidence for panties only out and about town will be but we sometimes try it.

She is carrying the potty around the house, taking herself to potty at home and at my parents', and cueing very clearly about wanting to go if potty is not available.

Can't tell the difference between the urge to pee or poo, but knows they both go in the potty. She recognizes pee and poo as objects in the potty but calls them both "pee" and "poo." Don't knwo when she will call pee "pee" and poo "poo
correctly. Don't really care about that... I'm satisfied they are both going inthe potty. More like an observation.

Got confused about a fart this week. Ran around frantic convinced she had to poo, sat on the potty, let a big ol' fart rip, jumped up to look int he potty and with a perplexed look held her arms out in the "Where did it go?" shrug and turned to me for explanation. Pointed and said "Poo?" Very amusing to try to explain that there was no poo there because she didn't make one.

Tonight she took herself to potty in the blue potty with a potty bucket insert. She peed, got up to inspect results, clapped when found pee in bucket, then tried to take the bucket to empty into the bathroom toilet as she's seen me do. Had to follow her to make sure she wasn't going to spill pee around, but very pleased she's trying to pour it to the toilet herself. That's a new one.

Started hissing LOUDER today from the crib so I could actually hear her that time. Another new one.

She's figured out how to put panties back on, although she often gets both legs in the same hole. Still needs help pulling them down past her butt. Perhaps looser panties would help?

Has trouble realizing she needs to hike dress up to potty -- sometimes accidentally pees on back of dress because she sat on it.

So... more practice with panties and other clothing.

Chugging right along.... :)
