I’ve been incredibly busy lately, and because of that I haven’t been as good about offering Galen the potty. It’s sometimes hard to find a balance between living life and offering the potty. For me the thing that has always worked the best is timing. Just getting to know about how often my baby goes [...]
This month we’ve taken a big step with EC’ing – Galen is going diaper free at night. It has been an interesting experience thus far, and a pretty good one Now that our big kids are dry all night I felt a little more enthusiastic about working with Galen at night. I began by [...]

I’m getting this update in late – Galen turned six months old two days ago. But my dad came up for a visit since he wasn’t able to come with my mom after Galen was born, and spending time with Granddaddy (and awesome Daddy) trumped all writing! So I’ll give an update on how things [...]

Get your questions in to me by tomorrow evening for consideration for the Q&A! Learn more or contact me (be [...]

I love Galen’s little facial expressions. I think it’s because we’ve been taught that babies are not supposed to have any bladder control or [...]

Elimination Communication is still going really well with Galen. I’ve been surprised looking at my site’s statistics – my update pages on Galen have been getting a lot of visitors. I’m glad to know that sharing our experiences with Galen may be helping some other families out there Galen has had some fussy days lately, [...]

Galen is 11 weeks old now and we’ve been EC’ing since his first days. I am really, really glad we made the choice to use elimination communication. Galen does not have dirty diapers. It’s such a blessing! I’m still awed by the fact that he goes when I set him over the potty bowl or [...]

EC’ing Galen from birth has been a nice adventure for us. We’ve planned to EC (use elimination communication) since my pregnancy – and I EC’d with Cassidy from 6 months and with Brennan from 1 week. So it wasn’t completely new to me. I still intended to take it easy and not worry about it [...]
