Elimination Communication
Now that I feel like I have somewhat of a handle on having an infant, I’d like to be challenged again, and so on Monday I have started to “potty-train” Fiery, who is now about 5.5 months old. I thought this would be a fun thing to blog about.
I don’t want to get into the specifics and “how-to’s” but if you’re interested you can read about it here.
I jumped head-first into this and came up with this:
A very poor method. One thing about doing this is quickness: and unbottoning footsies is by far not a quick method. Since then I’ve learned, thanks to a Mothering forum, that pants and a ti-shirt is much easier. Being butt naked would be the easiest (yay for hardwood floors!) but unfortunately I don’t know want to do that until the weather is a little bit warmer.
We had our first poop today!! I was SO proud of her. I thought she was just going to pee and then she just started pooping! I didn’t even have to “catch” it. Go Fiery!
And this is a picture of her first pee:
Just to add this potty-training toilet is horrible for infants and I can’t wait until my Baby Bjorn Little Potty comes in the mail :-DMy Flickr page.

Listen up, Fiery…

Well, Cute Overload was curiously informative today, especially considering Fiery and her expertise as a nursing baby. As it turns out, the behaviour that certain kittehs display that we all find to be so cute is a nursing behaviour.
When a kitteh kneads some soft surface (aka, my own Buddha Belly) and purrs contentedly, they are actually recalling the behaviour they would exhibit whilst nursing from momma kitteh where kneading her belly would promote better milk flow as they sucked. This is also why they purr, because they more than likely are recalling the yummy milk that momma kitteh used to provide for them.
Anyway, follow that link above for the original story. It has a nice little video of a kitteh falling asleep in her efforts to knead effectively. However, the most important reader of this post is most assuredly Fiery, who must learn ever more effective methods such as the ‘knead and purr’ for becoming fat and happy.
Knead on, Fiery!
