I borrowed a book from my sister on EC (Elimination Communication) and read it a month or so before Joseph was born. It sounded like fun and possible to try as much or as little as desired so I was excited to try it. The book recommended not bothering to think about EC in the first week, but I thought “Why not?” Ha! I didn’t even think about not giving EC a thought in the first week. In fact, I didn’t even change one diaper the first week (yeah husband!). It wasn’t until Joseph’s third week that I gave it a thought and made few feeble attempts at putting Joseph on his little potty, though it must be said that since he has a habit of pooping and peeing during a change we’ve been given the “cuing” sounds so he has been getting at leas some sort of correlation between the act of peeing and pooping the their respective sounds (pshshshsh and bththth or something like that).
