Elimination Communication

Eli might disown me someday when he finds out I put this on the internet. Seriously, gone are the days of embarrassing your child with photo albums. Now we plaster it all over the internet! Sorry babe.

With Eli eating more solid foods, he is becoming more consistent with the disposal of it. Evenings are his time of choice. This was video was taken a few days ago. Don't mind how messy my babe is. He was eating a rice cake and I didn't bother taking it from him before I took him to the potty. I know, food in the bathroom is icky.

It's pretty easy to know when he's working on a little surprise. He goes quiet then begins making soft grunting noises. That's my cue to immediately stop what I am doing, rip his diaper off and sit him on the potty seat to do his thing. We think it's pretty darn cute to see such a lil' guy on a big ol' toilet, and it sure beats having to change a poopy diaper!

haha.. this made me laugh! I think babies are the cutest little things when they are pooping. I would totally try this with Ellie if she wasn't such a crib pooper :)

That is the cutest thing ever!!! I think it's awesome you are putting him on the potty now! Keep it up! (I wish Carter was that regular, nearly every diaper change is still stinky)

What infant potty seat are you using? I sooo wish I had stuck to this when P was little. I tried it a few times, but I didn't have an infant seat and he screamed when I held him over it.
