Potty training!

I went to the toilet this morning! I hear it's uncommon here in the US, but it's actually very natural and the norm in most parts of the world/less industrialized countries where people don't use diapers. Here they give it a fancy name "elimination communication" (Wikipedia says "EC is a practice in which a caregiver uses timing, signals, cues, and intuition to address an infant's need to eliminate waste. Typically the goal is to partially or completely avoid the use of diapers. EC emphasizes communication between the caregiver and child, helping them both become more attuned to the child's innate rhythms and control of urination and defecation. The term "elimination communication" was inspired by traditional practices of diaper-less baby care in less industrialized countries and hunter-gatherer cultures.") Ammu thinks everyone should do this because diapers are made from NONDEGRADABLE plastics = landfills!! Also the idea of sitting around in my own poop isn't nice! Here's a picture from this morning, as you can see I'm a little shy to get photographed mid-action!
