27 Months

Wow, another month went by? It was a month of big changes for Maya!

No more diapers! Yep Maya is now completely out of diapers (ok, she has pull-ups at night, but she very rarely needs them). It only took her about a week until she was about 90% there, Susan used the "naked method" where Maya was naked for about a week at home. She only had a few accidents and surprising, they were mostly when she was not naked. It took her a few more weeks to get used to telling us when we go out, but now she won't hesitate to let us know when she's got to go.

Maya's other big achievement is that she now sleeps through the night in her own bed. We went out and bought her a "big girl's bed" and she had no trouble. Susan just needs to re-assure her that she is right outside her bedroom, and Maya goes to bed willingly without any problems now.

She is becoming much more independent. Her new favorite words are "I do it". She is insistent on doing everything herself, especially getting dressed (and boy does it take forever). She's had a few meltdowns when she hasn't gotten her way but in general she's still a happy-go-lucky kid.
