Follow up

Right after I posted the last post, I looked over at Alaina and she was scrunching her body a little and I thought she might need to poop. So I took her to the tupperware in the bathroom and we had another perfect catch! One that would have been a blow-out in the diaper, for sure! And this is what you get afterward! A clean, happy baby!
Isn't she great!? I love that smiley little face!

Moving right along

It's been a pretty good week! We had 3 perfect poop catches this week and two poopy diapers. It helped that she pooped more often this week for some reason. One of the times it seemed like she was responding to my whistle cue more than I was responding to her need-to-poop cues because she didn't go very much.

When I say a perfect catch, I mean that I noticed a cue from her (usually hunching a bit and straining--it means she has to go and not that she's going now so it's getting pretty easy to catch!) and got her over the pot in time to catch it. It's more deliberate than just trying to take her every now and then and getting lucky. Those three times I caught her poop were the only times this week I took her. I have a much harder time finding any cues from her that she needs to pee, so that will start to be a priority in a week when school's over (WOOHOO!). I'll keep you posted!
