I just blogged about those same slippers recently (& i’m wearing a pair right now!). I added the cuffs from the sweater sleeves to mine, and that helps them stay on better, especially on little feet.

I wish I would have know about EC when my son was younger. I would have definitely tried it. We early potty trained, but I wish I would have known we could have started sooner! Two friends of mine EC’d, but didn’t know there was a name for it when they did. Those pants are great! When we were potty training my son we did loose underwear & baby legs, but those pants would have come in handy!

I love the split pants! They would be a great addition to my child’s wardrobe! She can go on the potty by herself but cannot pull her pants down yet. These pants would do the trick!

Love old sweaters, I will definitely check out this slipper pattern. I have a bag full of scraps of torn clothes, shrunken or holey sweaters. By the way, thanks for the tip on the Picnik plug in, I use picnik all the time. .-= Christine´s last blog ..A Bitter Fruit: A child's plea to the city =-.

In all my nursery-school-teaching years, I found that pee and poop were excellent default words. We'd get kids now and then who would say "tinkle" or "number 2," but I still return to the pee and poop standby, even for myself as an adult. .-= Mary Mactavish´s last blog ..Sakurajima blowing ash =-.

Erin – I couldn’t pass up a chance for a jab at Martha Stewart (a light-hearted jab) – she’s become an icon, but not someone I normally consider for this site. (Sorry, Martha)

Love the slippers, and have to admit I was/am a Martha Stewart junkie, especially when I was a stay-at-home-mom for the last 15 years…

and the pants also very cool, I did not try the elimination communication method… missed out on that one
