i wasn’t intending on writing a daily log [ ahem ] on our adventures with elimination communication but today was a big day.

three days ago, i thought it’d be a tremendous struggle just to get odin to sit on the toilet for more than a few minutes and couldn’t possibly have imagined that he’d be semi-regularly doing all the business that one normally does on the loo!

and we would have had an astonishing 80% success rate had he been able to get up more easily to the toilet by himself!

we might switch to a standalone trainer like the totco over the bjorn trainer that we’re currently using since it’d be an easier for him for do things all by himself.

as i stated above, communiqués from the throne will probably be minimal because, well, some things are better left unphotographed. but if you’re thinking about elimination communication and think your infant/toddler might be amenable to the idea, we heartily give it the odin seal of approval.

the results have been amazing and i only wish we had started a few months ago.

is it common knowledge around the world that “throne” is a colloquialism for toilet?
