Carrie seems to be showing signs that she’s aware of having a dirty diaper. Last night when I got home from rehearsal, she went and got the receiving blanket I change her on very occasionally when we’re downstairs and I don’t want to bring her up to her room. She put it on the floor and laid down on it – and she did in fact have a dirty diaper. Then after lunch today, before I put her down for her nap, she signed “potty” – and once again she had a dirty diaper.
I don’t think she’s anywhere near ready to potty train, but just the fact that she’s aware of the fact that she needs a new diaper is a good first step! Maybe I’ll start looking around for a good board book on the subject to get her used to the concept.
