....the Giant Potty !!!
We EC (not potty training)our 13 month old daughter and recently she has been objecting to sit down to do poos and not signaling to tell me one is on it's way...luckily her 'poo face' is cue enough.
So I have been catching poo in a small plastic bowl or standing her on the toilet seat upstairs...luckily she only does one poo every two days and always to date at home, so no real hassle.
She is often naked on the bottom half at home and she was playing in the living room, whilst I made lunch in the kitchen.
I came back into the room, I could smell the poo looked everywhere but couldn't see it anywhere (we are lucky that despite being naked a lot we haven't had poo on the carpet yet)...
...I gave up, went to move the potty and found it in there !!!
I am so pleased. She had gone to the potty done her business, got up again and gone off to play all without feeling the need to tell me
I do know this is properly a one poo wonder, never to be repeated but wow?.I?m so impressed with her. Makes me wonder if the wee I found in the potty yesterday that I don?t remember her doing was another solo mission as such.
I promise that this isn?t a bragging post, I believe all NT children would do the same if introduced to a potty earlier enough (like our grandparents did), I just wanted to share my joy at a new development.
Somehow despite talking with other ECing parents who?s children do this type of thing, I never expected my DD to become independent on a potty at this time.
Saying that I remember saying that I would never let her be naked at home or wear pants outside the house and yet I keep changing my mind on what I am comfortable with and I am continuously amazed with what are our little children are capable of .
Thank you for reading this far
