It's been a funny old day. Nothing terrible has happened, other than the fact I was rained on massively this morning/afternoon, as I made a meet with a pal/employer, Lawi in tow. Came home to a poopy pretty nappy. Got that sorted, got dried and warm again, ate, played, tried doing a bit of housework. Back to normal.
We've been doing Elimination Communication on a part-time basis when at home. Lawi wears briefs, and every time he wets them, I change them - just so he gets the idea wet is not a nice feeling. Been going okay. He will sometimes go on the potty when he does not go for a long time and I sit him and go ''shhhhhaaaah'', but these are rare. Poop is more successful if he's around me, as I can tell when he needs to go (he has a poo face and sound [don't we all?] ).
So, a little while ago, he made the face and sound. I raced him to the bathroom, briefs off, signed potty and gave him my hairspray (homemade, no nasties, even edible, though not tasty, so not irresponsible and dangerous - had to clarify that), which he loves playing with to keep him there. He went really well, like he does most times. I congratulated him, and took him away to get cleaned up and re-dressed. And then it happened. I tripped on the potty. Its contents went flying all over the bathroom floor. Now I got poop all over the floor to clean. I just had to take a break from it all and post this before cleaning it up. Especially as Al came back from work and has taken Lawi out for a walk. So, just a regular day in the office then. With a little poopy blip. Life goes on. Off to clean the bathroom now. Life is still good, I count my blessings - poo-lined or not.
Till next time.
Infinite number of quests, not enough time! I am passionate about many things - Instinctive Parenting, Permaculture and Self Sufficiency, Livestock (one day!), Traditional Nourishing Diets, Raw and Live foods, Afro-textured hair, Health and Self Healing with Nature... My blog is about all of these and more, and how they shape/can shape me and mine, hopefully for the better. Hope you enjoy reading.

Hahahaha! From the title, I was expecting to read about EC gone wrong. But no, just a case of ClumsyMamaItis. Don't worry, I have it too ;)
