Controlling Elimination

Now that my 4mo. has developed control over her elimination, I'm thrilled and amazed at the instances where she showcases her mastery.

One morning after she woke up, I took off her diaper and saw that I had interrupted her fluid elimination. She stopped and I took her to the bathroom (I don't even have to rush her there anymore). After we were settled on the toilet, she continued to eliminate. Then her sister and brother came in. She stopped again and smiled at them while cooing. After her siblings had left the bathroom she continued again to eliminate.

Now THAT is control that shocks me. I almost wouldn't believe it if someone told me their 4mo. was doing that, but here I am experiencing it for myself...and telling you.

I guess she gets used to going to the toilet to eliminate and knows the procedure we take to get her there. Those little ones are smart.
