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?

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.
