A blog with a shelf life

My daughter Frances is 13 months old and we've been practicing elimination communication, or EC, with her since she was born. Since the hope is that she'll be through with this potty learning adventure by this time next year or so (keeping our fingers crossed), unless we have or adopt another kid, this blog already has a stamped on expiration date.

But it's important to me to share our experiences anyway, since I have wanted to find others' experiences in this area and found the internet only moderately helpful. The truth is, I believe, that not a lot of people go for EC. I'm not going to try to convince anybody that this is the "right" way to get your kid out of diapers. But for people who are a little bit interested in EC, or people who do EC full-time with your kids, I hope this will be entertaining for you.

Documenting Frances' every poop and pee is going to be so thrilling, I know. Welcome.
