    Woah this is weird to me...

    Elimination communication

    Elimination communication (EC) is a practice in which a caregiver uses timing, signals, cues, and intuition to address an infant's need to eliminate waste. Typically the goal is to partially or completely avoid the use of diapers. EC emphasizes communication between the caregiver and child, helping them both become more attuned to the child's innate rhythms and control of urination and defecation. The term "elimination communication" was inspired by traditional practices of diaper-less baby care in less industrialized countries and hunter-gatherer cultures.[1] Some practitioners of EC begin soon after birth, although it can be started with babies of any age.

    3 ?!?!?! man time has been flying by

    I have a weak spot for wanting a little baby girl :)

    At the same time I would wouldn't mind a boy to have sports with

    As long as everyone is healthy

    Little girls are so freaking sweet. I would love to have another one. Little boys are awesome, too. I remember sort of hoping for a boy when I was first pregnant with Annabelle but now I can't imagine life without this particular little person! :)

    Annabelle is a mix of girly-girl (she loves to play dress up, play with dolls and put on my makeup, lol) and tomboy... She loves watching baseball with her dad (and for some reason has decided she's a Yankees fan, :lol) and actually shows signs of being pretty athletic.

    I think this is total bullshit! :lol: We trained Annabelle over the course of about a week (with a handful of accidents after that) and I think the reason we were successful was that we waited until she was actually ready. What I've heard about the elimination-communication thing, from critics, is this: it basically trains the parents to recognize the signs, but it doesn't actually train the kid. I knew a few people that started training way early (like around 18 months or earlier), and every one of them ran into an issue of their kid becoming totally obsessed with their poop and playing with it/smearing it on the walls!!! Gross. :lol: The thing is, the kid has to be both mentally and physically ready to use the toilet, and neither one of those things can be forced. I do think watching Potty Time Elmo and having a doll that used the potty helped her to get interested in it, which is also important. In the beginning, she would always want Baby Alive to sit on her potty next to her while she sat on hers... :lol:
