Hi Mayaness
We've been using Auslan since about 7-8 months old. He could do some signs really early on (cat was his first spoken and signed word and he uses it A LOT lol), and hes started using toilet in context about 3 weeks ago - about age 1. You can google australian baby hands or the victorian deaf assoc (I know that's not the right name, can't remember it now!) has a website where you can look signs up. Toilet is a flat palm and you point to it with your index finger to make a "t" sign. Some signs we make up (e.g. milk was the action for milking a cow and I found that a bit offensive haha so I made a fist and banged my chest for "boobs" heh). I know some bubbas pat their hips when they need to go. Whatever works I could rabbit on forever about baby signing - I think it's wonderful. He's got 7 or so words now?

OMG YAY YOU for catching one at the MHC place!! That's fantastic, and at such a young age My MHCN was a bit anti EC, well more disbelieving I suppose so yay you!! Hehehe. Hope someone saw you coming out of the toilet *giggle*

Crotchless pants sounds like a good idea. I don't know that we'll ever be that confident. Have you heard of ecapants? They're a really good idea if a bit spensy.

Do you guys offer at night? How does that work? I always wondered about that. And are you guys full time nappy free at home?

We went to the park this morning and DS was dry the whole time and did a huge wee on the potty when we get back - YAY - only thing was he was so excited to stand up and inspect the good work he was still weeing when he did it hahaha. Im just so proud he's consciously holding and letting go though.

Have a good one
