Today we are totally out of sync. I caught 1 pee all day! Is this normal to have off days? It seems like she isn't telling me today until after she goes, but I am sick too so maybe I am just slow minded? What do you do on off days to get back in sync?

I feel that way sometimes.

LuLu, OT: but I use to live in SPFD. My parents still do :)

That's cool, we just moved here last year from WA state.

Totally normal to have off days. We have fewer now than we did a month ago, but my understanding is that it happens more often here and there as the baby develops. I just tell Sylvie I'll try harder, and I have switched back to keeping her in a diaper most of the time. Many days, she wears the same dry diaper all day, and boy, then I feel very proud. Some days, she goes through more than she would if she were just diapered. I figure that's just how it goes. Someone on MDC said it's really more about communicating than about catching pees, and I kind of get that.
