Getting back on track

[curiouscanadian]

I just need somewhere to share my excitement... I'm finally seeing progress on the pottying front!

We started ECing late (10mo) and had the usual hiccup with learning to walk recently but it seems like we're back on track as of the last few days. But even more importantly, today HE SIGNED that he needed to go.

This is particularly exciting since after starting ECing at 10mo we've had to rely almost exclusively on timing up to now. I thought a few times before that he was signing, but it wasn't very clear... tonight's was VERY clear. Even better, it was exactly what he needed, he knew it and was able to tell me. Yay! (It was bedtime and he was obviously v. tired but wasn't going to sleep, after he went potty he basically rolled over and passed out )

I know we're still going to have more ups and downs, but it's so nice to be validated like I was today. I figured I'd share an encouraging story for other mommas out there who might be where I was a month ago, wondering if there was really any point to the whole EC thing and when we were going to start seeing any results.

That is wonderful and exciting!! It's amazing how once they relieve themselves they are able to fall asleep! How exciting to see him signing to you about his need to go potty, too!!!!
