More than you want to know about John's pee Part II
On Saturday, I started signing "Bathroom" each time we went there. The sign, the way I do it, involves putting your thumb between your pointer and middle fingers while holding your hand in a fist and moving your hand to the right and left. Yesterday, about forty minutes after a nap, twenty minutes after lunch, and a few minutes after nursing (read: he should have been super-happy), John began fussing and wouldn't let me hold him. I looked more carefully and noticed the "Bathroom" thumb position and promptly took him. He didn't "go", but he sure had fun playing with his bathroom toys!
Today, after running some errands, John did the same thing (slight fussiness, hand in the "Bathroom" position), but this time his diaper was dry and he went within 5 seconds of being put in the tub.
"By George, I think he's got it!" Sort of, at least.

Isn't that the sign language letter "T"?
Random trivia: in Korea, that sign is considered obscene, it's like sticking up your middle finger and waving it around! ;P
Yep about the "T". I'll remember your warning if we take a toddler to Korea!
