Progressively learning

  I'm so excited! The last few weeks have been great! Audrey has started walking here and there, (not more than six steps) and she's responding to more communication. As far as potty time goes she's improving greatly. She doesn't let me know when she has to pee and so she wets a lot of diapers because, I have a lot going on. Also sometimes she pees on the potty then pees on the potty again thirty minutes later, but has a slightly wet diaper in between. The only time she signs potty is when she's in her booster seat eating and pees. It's really funny, she'll pee while signing potty and then clap for herself, all while in her booster seat eating. I'd say she doesn't entirely get it, but it's a slow progression. As far as poop goes, she hates to poop in her diaper, she will go to the bathroom door and hit it when she has to go or give me a panicky face with a distinct grunt. She rarely poops in her diaper. I am hoping that this new diaper laundry soap I'm going to try will fix my cloth challenge and the uncomfortable feeling of wet cloth will inspire a dislike for wetting her diaper. I imagine if I were super motivated I could buy panties and really rip the band aid off, but I'm not quite there. In the mean time I'm just happy to not have poopy diapers :D and I'm very happy that we started potty time months ago. As we approach her first birthday I'm excited to think by her second birthday potty use should be an old habit instead of a new concept.
