Rags and EC...

So I have started making Zion cute wool soakers, and longies out of felted sweaters. So easy and multifunctional all at the same time.  

There are 3 wool diaper soakers and a pair of wool longies, made from the sleeves of an old wool adult sweater. 

Here are 2 pair of wool underwear and another pair of wool longies, just need to add elastic to the waist. 

Zion looks so cute wearing his little wool pants, looks like he is out of the 1800's. I also made a pair of split crotch pants. When he is on the potty and his legs are spread there is an opening so that I don't actually have to take his pants off. Very convenient for when we are home and we are doing Elimination Communication. 

Elimination Communication is the theory that babies are born with the knowledge of knowing when they have to go potty. A cue noise is used, I use Pssssssss. This helps him realize that when he is on the potty and the cue noise is made it is time for him to go. So far I usually only miss 1-2 pees a day  and the rest of time I catch his cues and take him to the potty. His cues consist of squirming, wiggling, and he growls now when he really has to go. He loves sitting on the potty making faces at himself in the mirror, and he totally relaxes when he really has to go, like he is grateful I listened to him. 

Demo update and this is where the rags come into play...

So the floor has been ripped out and the awful foam that was holding the side of the trailer together is now gone. Travis has started framing in the floor and bought the plywood. We are keeping track of all the things we purchase and are going to have a final list to look back at. Hopefully we don't get to over our heads...oh wait, I think it is too late for that.

Travis' work station

The whole trailer is being held up by that piece of wood. 

Back of trailer, Travis sanded and painted the beams black and is starting to frame in floor. 

Picture through back of Trailer no floor through the whole half of the trailer.

Our goodies that we got in the mail. Our 3 new vent covers for the roof, the battery fuse center, the electrical center, a pump, and a city water insert. 

So excited to actually be putting some of trailer back together, once the floor is in, progress will take place much more rapidly!
