Ratting Herself Out
Several times, Peeper has signed "stinky" for no obvious reason - and then we've discovered that she's got a dirty diaper.
I've started checking her pants whenever I see her signing it, and there's often something there.
Before you know it, she'll be signing BEFORE she goes. Up with potty training! Do you guys have a little potty she can sit on? You can start putting her on it, with or without a diaper on, even now so she gets used to it. I used to give my kids a book to look at while they were pottying.
We do have a potty chair, which already lives in the bathroom, just for her to get used to its existence.
I've put her on it a few times, but I think it's uncomfortable when she's naked, and if she gets too comfortable (with a diaper) she leans forward to pick up a toy, and starts to do a header off the front, and I have to dive from the toilet and catch her, and . . . .
Yaaaaaaaay! Crap detection is monumental!
