Thanks for the heads up Jess, I hear you on the challenges of this cold weather! I'm with you, resigned to catching poos mainly!

Even though it has turned much colder and we have many layers of clothes on here, we have been doing well here. So far in 4 weeks I have only missed the one poo! Plus I am converting people - or should I say 'we' are converting people without even trying!

I have had a few visitors recently who have been blown away by the magic of EC, watching a squirmy babe in arms, fuss and fidget while being changed then visibly relax when placed on the potty! For some reason my DD always seems to have the urge for a motion when we have company, (I think she wants to be the poster girl for EC ). I have nonchalantly headed over to the change table (in our living room) and gone through the procedure of pulling out the top hat and then turned to see jaws dropping on the couch from the visitors. So naturally, DD does a demonstration of the relieved relaxation when sitting on the potty and duly delivers a poo as I explain the philosophy, the ease and the fact that I am in a way as taken back as they are! Nods of approval follow and a new generation of EC'ers is inspired!

Now if only she could inspire her 2 1/2 year old older sister the joys of avoiding the nappy
