Distracted

As Hollis (distracted for a couple minutes perusing blogger blogs Orangette and Saipua) munches on my leg and rolls about diaper free on our de-sheeted bed I am making myself focus on a blog post about my now 6 month old boy.  I keep telling myself don't make it about you make it about him but somehow I know we are one of the same right now.
He is my constant companion, my teacher, my inspiration.  Every morning starts with a gaze in his eyes and is usually followed by a shared smile.  Hollis is not smiling right (distracted took Hollis to go pee but he did not have to go) now, he is a fussbutt because I wont let him type too.  My favorite two things to do with (distracted start one-handed typing while breast feeding) Hollis right now are 1: take him to infant story time on Wednesdays and 2: get out into nature, real nature, open and dense nature.

Pottytime

I started potty-ing Hollis without the expectation that communication would take place.  I simply put him on a tiny pink potty a couple of times a day and if he peed... great, if he pooped... awesome.  I started potty time in early December when Hollis was just 4 months.  Today Hollis is almost 6 months and our journey with "elimination communication" has been amazing.  Like I said I never thought that I would be here, just two months later whispering a "Psssssssssss" sound in Hollis's ear and watching him go potty on the toilet almost 20 times a day!  Today when we both woke up we went to the bathroom and Hollis even pooped on the grown up toilet?  What? Amazing. That being said I just spent the last 15 minutes cleaning poop out of his Bumbo seat.   Who poops three times before 3:30?
