Day 33

Life is a roller coaster... some days you're on top of the world and others you are holding on for dear life. It's interesting how a normal Sunday afternoon can become enthralled with EC techniques. Today we were trying our best to stay on top of Annie's signals, yet all three of us were tired and not doing great communicating. Of course we all try our best to get our basic needs met. I'm tired or I'm hungry were the most common 'sayings' of the day. There does come a time when our basic need for food and sleep tends to outweigh our need to hold our three month old over the toilet.
Interestingly enough, this time is minimal and very few days are spent attending solely to her need of food. We do our best to catch as many elimination moments as possible. However, when she's crying and fussy it's difficult to hold her screaming little body over the toilet and expect her to pee (or poop for that matter). Days like today end with a promise of tomorrow and the chance to try again!
Perhaps I should re-write a classic favorite... "The pee will come out tomorrow, tomorrow..."



Today I learned: You can't force a baby to pee or poop anymore than you can force her to eat!
