Back in June I joined The Greenville Attachment Parenting Playgroup on Meetup.com. Since then I have met the most wonderful, down to earth, accepting, as well as generous mothers. Something I had desperately been searching for. Besides that these women have showed me our children are only capable of what we allow them to be capable of.
Yesterday I went to the monthly cloth diaper meeting. This week was a little less cloth diapering and more early potty training or elimination communication. We watched a 30 minute movie called the Potty Project. They made it seem so simple. The idea is to put baby over the potty for five minutes at a time or until she tinkles or poos then praising her so that it becomes a positive experience that she wants to repeat.
So I tried it and I shouldn't have been surprised but it worked. Josie tinkled right away and did it again and again. She has done it 4 out of 5 times and her diapers have been dry when I take them off. Now I tried with Ava and we still have a little ways to go but she is watching Josie and I think it is starting to click.
