Lola will be 18 months old on May 30th. It's amazing how fast the time flies. I feel like it was just yesterday that we were bringing the little peanut home from the hospital. She is a lovely little girl who is very different from her siblings.
Her language development is primarily non-verbal at the moment. She communicates using sign but does have a small bit of vocabulary built up. She started walking at 9 months and grasps some concepts that are typical for a higher age group.
She has been showing signs of being ready to use the potty for a couple of weeks. We weren't going to push her. She would sit on the chair every time I was in the bathroom. She would say "potty" and bring a fresh diaper when she had a wet diaper.
On Monday night, she was fussy at dinner. She kept saying "potty." We decided to let her sit on the potty without a diaper. And, she went! We thought it might have been a fluke, but, she did again yesterday morning.
Now it's time to find some cute little training pants! I attribute her readiness to the cloth diapering. She does not like the feeling of being wet at all.
I love having these milestones but it's bittersweet, too. She is our last and I want to cherish each of these milestones.
