* Qile is EC'd! *
Xiao Lao Ban in his Bumwear cd
I started
EC'g (EC = Elimination
Communication) Qile since sometime in Dec 02.
It was pretty stressful then as i was trying to do too much all at one go.
Got some good advice from Ginny
who told me to EC only when i'm ready and just take things easy!
I read Diaper
Free! and had the opportunity to learn from the wisdom of
experienced moms.
As i got better at mothering (thick-skinned eh!) i thot it would be good
if i could tune in to Qile more.
On
Saturday, for the first time, i caught ALL his pees n poos! Boy, was i
pleased!
He was in one cd (no, not the music kind,
cloth diaper lah) which remained
dry and unsoiled the whole time during the day! But i thot maybe that's a fluke!
So come Sunday, i tried again, and success! Tell me what makes it so *shiok*
to bring
my baby to the toilet bowl and cue him to pee or poo when i know he needs to?
Well, only when you become a mom, then you'd be able to find joy
in the littlest things in life, like going shhhshhh and
eerrhhh!!!
When your
little darling can communicate to you that he needs to eliminate,
and you can return his trust by helping him to, boy... that is joyful
parenting!
Joyful parenting, attachment parenting, natural parenting, whatever the
term,
being a mommy the best way i can be to my little darling is something i do with
joy in my heart. i wake up to the face i love best each morning and
at night
i sleep with my very cuddly customed human bolster!
The
face mommy (and daddy) cannot resist!
