I
It is going quite well, I think. I have been very haphazard this time around, but even so, Miss G is starting to figure out how to sign Potty (“toilet”) while she’s peeing. Eventually, we’ll get the sign BEFORE the pee, but I”m not overly worried there.
We’re getting 1-3 pees a day and about every [...]

Alright, so I’m horrible at poops. One time I got poop in the potty because I knew it was coming. But most of the time, it’s a complete surprise to me. She doesn’t do any pre-grunting any more. Just suddenly, one big push and splat.
But pee. oh, we’re good with pee. Our bedroom is freakishly [...]

A friend asked me the other day when I’d start EC with Genevieve. I have been struggling with the answer to that question for months, actually, but I think my answer has changed and firmed up in the past few days.

And I’m back facing something I’ve not had to face since I had Wally and stopped posting on mainstream parenting websites – breastfeeding guilt. (or, [...]

What I’m doing: Trying to sew. I’m on the last 2 dozen diapers of a large wholesale order, then I can start sewing for instock. That’s a pile of 12 medium fitteds there, waiting to be sewn together. It’s hard to sew when my allergies are so bad, and I’m not sure why.
What I’m drinking; [...]

Well, yes, I know that those of you who know what EC is all about are laughing right now, saying “what on earth?”
But I have been accused three times now (once via comment on this blog, twice via email received from my email addy being listed as the local contact at diaperfreebaby.org). One of those [...]

Well, as you may know, we have been totally accident free for a long, long time now. The last accident he had was (predictably) with daddy, who often doesn’t totally believe Wally when he says he needs to go. I don’t actually count those things as accidents, since they are not his fault but are [...]

Or, at least, conventional in the modern years in many developed nations…
 On a website where I post, there was a discussion about potty training recently. A mom wrote about her four year old who, since the mom stopped really pushing her daughter to go on the potty, had largely reverted to peeing in her diaper. She [...]
