You may or may not be aware that Eila is in process of potty training - very relaxed and by her initiative. Basically, we use cloth diapers and ask her if she needs to go and take her when she does her telltale move that she is holding it in. She is wearing training pants during the day when we are at home and stays dry most of the time. Today, she said "pee" and so I took her and she went! Yesterday, she grabbed herself and so I took her & she went. Eila is still in a diaper for naps and definitely overnight as well as when we are out & about, but tells me even still when she goes...

Sometimes though, Eila needs to go and yet pretends she doesn't. She will fight it with every inch of strength she can muster - doing her move on the toilet as long as she can. She'll say she's done and say "down?" and then suddenly she will let loose and take care of business. Then, Eila will refuse to get off the potty and want to read books or sing songs indefinitely while sitting peacefully on the toilet. She is also starting to wipe herself very proudly, but does not like to wash her hands after. Tant pis!
