What is Elimination Communication?

Elimination Communication (EC) is an ancient practice of tuning in to a baby's elimination patterns and signals and responding to the baby's needs.  In this way, babies can live diaper-free!  Might sound crazy at first, but it's truly a beautiful thing!  Ingrid Bauer is an expert in the field - read more on her website.

Elie & Yoav peed outside together

Today we were outside at the playground when Elie woke up from a nap. He was calm for about 15 minutes and then started crying to pee (he was just wearing Gerber training undies, so I knew he was dry). The Stuy Town bathrooms were closed and we were too far from our apartment to get there quickly/easily (with Yoav and a friend - it could take an hour to get that distance LOL). So I moved over to an area with some dirt and got Elie out of the wrap and got his pants off. Meanwhile, Yoav decided he needed to pee and he pulled down his pants. Elie and Yoav peed at the exact same time into the dirt. I wish I could have gotten a photo.
