Elimination Communication our way*
About a month ago we brought home a potty, bought some cloth training pants and started saying ssssssss alot. I wanted to get her familiar with her elimination habits, and see what happened. She is so capable, and we want her to know that. About 60% of her daily eliminations make it to the potty. So we definitely wash alot, but its easier than changing a diaper and washing a diaper! AND cheaper than buying diapers. We went from using a pack of diapers every two weeks to one pack a month. Big difference.
I did read briefly over an Elimination Communication Book called Diaper Free. It was intuitive to what I already thought, but was really encouraging. The sound association chapter really made alot of sense, and Echo caught on immediately. Making a sound when they eliminate such as sssssss. I felt like starting now would make the process of toilet training more relaxed and everyday. Before the strongER will to refuse comes along. So thats where we are! I was prompted to share this because of Jenny's post - which prompted Echo to pull her potty out and poop right beside it.

I think everyone that has ever potty trained has a pooped BESIDE the potty story. I remember before I had children my nephew standing up to ssssss in the toilet and pooping on the floor in front of me. It still cracks me up. Blake went potty on daddys boot at foleys. It's important to ask which sound they need to make. love you, b
awesome!
AND REMEMBER WHEN ZAKK WENT POOP IN THE DEMO COMMODE AT THE END OF THE ISLE AT HOME DEPOT!? YOUR DAD HAD TO FACE THE MANAGER AS I LEFT THE BUILDING! :)
