Day TEN

What a fun day! Today was the first of many adventures that I was unable to practice ECing with Annie 24/7. I went to work leaving the task to Nana and Grandpa. (We decided that family would only do EC if they want to try it out for themselves. Try it out they did!) Much to my surprise, they decided to take Annie once after her nap because she woke up dry. Once the cue word was said...she did her duty! AMAZING!!!
Yes, she peed in her diaper more than a couple times today but that's okay. We are still learning. Annie is smart yet needs daily reminders to keep her going. Tomorrow we are back to 24/7 attention.
Last night Annie was SOUND asleep and I thought for sure she was out for the night. Nope... once again she proved me wrong and woke up twice to pee. It still baffles my mind how a little girl that is unable to speak seems to hold her bladder to be offered the right time to pee. I don't quite understand it all, but I'm learning quickly.
Tonight... another fun adventure...journey to a friend's house. We decided not to bring the cool whip container for fear we would leave it there and they may use it as a container for food! (ew) So, we left with a diaper bag and baby in hands (well in the car seat). Once we got there Annie signaled that she had to pee and pee she did! She Christened the toilet three times!!!! I think she finally feels good going in the toilet, although she prefers the safety of her 'cool whip' she will venture out into the great big world every once in a while.
Now we can leave home assured all we need is Annie!

No time today to search for the perfect potty. Will try and find something tomorrow and let you all know the status once found. IF you're curious as to what they look like check out the infant potty: http://babybjorn.com/en/American/products/Bathroom/BABYBJORN-Little-Potty/
It's little but then again it's made for little people.
