pants

lumi hits the 20-month mark soon, which is when they say you can start actual potty training and not elimination communication.  i would like to really start then, and try to be diaper-free.  but we have some issue because lumi still can't really put on or take off her own pants.  her motor skills are on the whole pretty great, so i don't know if this is because we haven't been practicing this or what.  or maybe i'm missing the point and you still have to help with the pants at 20 months.
