I second that

love you guys!

🥲

It should totally be celebrated. I’ve gotten so much help and support from you people in this channel. Loving it. Loving you! ❤️

🎉🙌:hugging_face:

Oh, I have to agree with don’t I! 😬 It’s like the Trolley Problem but worse.

we love even love you @U0K1RLM99 😉

In times (for me long times) of remote work this channel is a weird cross over of friends and (former) coworkers. so many awesome people :hugging_face:

even I ❤️ @U0K1RLM99 just don't tell him or the jokes won't work any more

Wow that’s early!

He’s been going on the toilet, with me holding him above it, since 2 months or so. He’s just gotten too strong, long and lively for that to be feasible anymore 😄

Started doing it after learning about Elimination Communication (EC). He hated having a wet diaper, so it really improved his general mood.

We tried EC in the early days and had moderate success but we couldn’t keep it up. So we gave up and we’ll start over.

At 18 months she knows the concept of poop and potty and sometimes she will ask for it and sit and try but it looks like it’s still a game

It’s not a full success here. Every time I change him, with or without helping him pee/defecate, there’s a risk that he’ll cry and/or scream. He’s never liked being changed. It’s disheartening.

And there are many times where I can’t interpret his need to pee in time, mostly when he’s laying with his toys having fun. That’s no catastrophe, but it feels a bit silly after literally thousands of diaper changes. But, I just take off the wet diaper, offer him to pee (and he usually needs to), then put on a new one. I still have hopes that he’ll learn to sign when he needs the potty so that it becomes more straightforward, and I’m also hoping that he’ll be diaper free at an early age. But we’ll see 🙂

Even if it’s not regular, it’s great that your girl sometimes can recognise and express her need. Fingers crossed that it’ll become more steady! 🤞 🤞

Weeeellll I’d like for him to be able to sign me when he wants to go potty, and to be able to sit on the potty by himself. I’d say we’ve got a ways to go yet 🙂 Also, crawling, walking, talking and all that. Presently, he can push himself backwards on the floor and rotate aimlessly, and shout drunkenly and blow raspberries and stuff like that

Yup, sounds like your duties are complete. Job done 🙂

Easier than I thought!

where was that @U04V15CAJ?

University of Twente

👍

must be after my time...

or actually thinking about it... I didn't know that many CS people there.

what did you study there?

I did electrical engineering at the Hogeschool.. but lived on campus for a while

cool

but that was a long time ago....

well, it wasn't yesterday for me either,

🙂

although it doesn't feel that long ago still

last century for me (almost)

I started there in 99

haven't been in Enschede since 2006 I think.

I still come there every few years, but not that often

I started in 94 and finished aug 2000. so last few months didn't really count as I was in the UK at that time.

Thanks!
