We've part time ECd since about 1 month. Since learning to walk, catches have been very rare. We seem to be getting back on track with pees I think because I've started going diaper free when at home. (This seems to have significantly different results that loose trainers or loose CD.)
My problem now is that poos only happen when I've turned my attention away from my DD. Last 5 times or so, she cries out (very specifically) and then runs to me, pooing along the way
I try to react neutrally and reinforce where to go poo, but any advice on encouraging signals ahead of time??
Thanks.

And to explain to her that she can tell you ahead of time. My DD was the same way--would signal VERY clearly, but only after she'd started pooing. I would take her to the potty, clean her up, and tell her that if she told me before she pooped, then we could get all the poo in the potty. Gradually she started telling me sooner--usually when she'd started to go a little bit but not enough to make a mess. And lately she's started telling me before she's gone at all! So definitely tell your DD that if she tells you before she goes, then you can help her poop in the potty. They understand a lot at this age!
