More on ECing
| ECing has been a little tougher than I expected. Based on the books, I expected obvious cues on when Parker would have to potty. This has not been true. So we have been sticking with timing. If I take when he wakes up or when he is eating, I always get at least one catch. Sometimes when changing a diaper, I notice that he needs to go and can get a catch then. The drawback on this is sometimes I get to busy to notice that he might have to go. So, I'll send one of the boys to get him or I feed him while I am teaching school or eating. I have found that I am just not talented enough to feed him, myself, and potty him at the same time. Oh, to have 8 arms like an octopus! I have not even attempted to potty him in public yet. So far most people IRL don't know that I am doing this. I don't want it to be like showing off a dog's new trick. So, I guess the trick is to know his needs and take care of it in a timely manner instead of being distracted or selfishly doing what I want. In the past two days, I have been a little less busy and more focused on him. We have gotten a lot more catches than if I go about my business and just bring him along for the ride. |
