And yes we were witness to putting two words together....."door, go" (I mistakenly reversed it in the last comment.) He definitely wanted to go for a walk outside the door. The whole EC thing sounds more like paarent potty training rather than child potty training. I like your way much better. He is too adorable for words.

She mostly loves sitting on the potty and reading books. She's so darn cute "reading" on the potty. I'm mainly aiming for her to not be terrified of falling in the potty and all its scary noises. We've had some nice success with the potty seat that fits on top of a regular toilet--it's great for a small bathroom, too! It's so fun to see that proud look in their eye when they manage to "poo" or "pee" isn't it! What's not so fun is the recognition of what "toot" is and the extremely loud announcement of "toot" no matter where we happen to be!! Happy pottying :) <em>Susie's last blog post..<a href='http://susq.wordpress.com/2009/01/06/peace-man-and-hope-man/' rel="nofollow">Peace Man and Hope Man</a></em> Due to having some of my childcare kids around here that are in the midst of potty training, my little one’s been interested in going too.

(He's going to get a very big idea of himself.) Sounds like Jonah is making some serious strides toward potty independence! I'm curious about how your relationship changes as he's able to communicate so much more effectively. <em>Elina's last blog post..<a href='http://laszloslife.blogspot.com/2009/01/illusions-and-delusions.html' rel="nofollow">Illusions and Delusions</a></em> I totally believe in EC, am not attempting it with Laszlo, but I try to cheer when he goes.

He initiated a conversation about something that happened in the past, and he PUT TWO WORDS TOGETHER. 2 words together is a HUGE milestone, has he done this before? You're supposed to take note of it when it happens, they might ask you later. Also the past time conversation is indicative of good abstract skills, recall, etc. And social skill - initiating conversation! WOO HOO <em>Leila Abu-Saba's last blog post..<a href='http://bedouina.typepad.com/doves_eye/2009/01/its-so-complicated.html' rel="nofollow">It's so complicated...</a></em> I’m impressed with the verbal skills, too.
