Elimination Communication

So as some of you are aware (this doesn't have a lot to do with Finland but anyway) - I want to try Elimination Communication with V�in�.
It's early potty training and encourages the child to just let go. I saw a video of a person who had a little tupperware bowl and her 5 day old son peed and pooped in the bowl. It was amazing.
I wish I knew about this while I was pregnant - as I would've tried it much earlier than 5 months!
Ah well!

So this morning once he woke up fully - I tried it in the bathroom. Unfortunately I'm un-able to reverse sit on the toilet seat - because the sink is quite close and my knee won't fit in between! So I sat on the floor and held him on the toilet seat. He had a dribble of pee (from before I removed his diaper) but nothing happened after 3 minutes of consistent "psssssssssssssssst" sounds. So I fed him some pork stew, banana with cereal and some prunes - and then took him to the living room to play for about 10 minutes. He started to fart - and I figured okay - that could be a sign. I took him to the toilet and he wouldn't do anything. I'm not frustrated though - because it appears his diaper was a little wet!
So now I'm learning more about V�in� - which is quite exciting. Just when you think you know your child - something like E.C. opens up your mind to the silent signals as well.

I think I'll go and get a potty today - because I don't feel comfortable sitting him on the toilet seat. His legs are long and he's more or less cleaning our toilet with his feet....eww I know.
Then I have a better peace of mind (and better knees!) that he can pee comfortably without the wobbling of being on a toilet seat (with support of course).
You can see the video of the 5 day old baby here.

And yes - boys you have to help them out by pointing them south.

** UPDATE: At 9:30 after nursing this morning, HE DID IT!!! HE PEED IN THE TOILET!
