koyote left for England yesterday afternoon, so it's just me and the baby till Friday.

I decided to try going to La Leche League, but it turns out it meets on the second Thursday of the month, not the second Tuesday, so we hung out at Starbucks instead.

This wouldn't have really been a problem, except that it started pouring rain shortly after we left home, so we got a little wet and broke an umbrella. Oh well.

I swear, I'm either dyslexic or going psychotic and seeing what I want to see, rather than what is actually there. I could have sworn the website said the second Tuesday.

I'm working on Leif's lemur costume. It ain't going to look professional, but hopefully it'll at least look cute and a little lemur-like. I'm gluing white felt on the front of a grey sweatsuit, and I made a gray hat that I'll attach black and white ears to. And then I have to make a tail to safety in on the back.

I'm having fun with the sewing machine, anyways.

Today I put in a resume for a job at a local new age shop. They had a sign on their door advertising for a part time web site maintainer, 5-10 hours a week. It sounds like they just want someone to take pictures and stick them on the site. If so, it should be pretty much perfect for me, as long as they don't need anything significantly more artistic than adjusting contrast.

I'm writing an article about elimination communication for kuro5hin.org, though I kind of wonder if it's a pointless effort. Is a geek oriented site going to care one bit about baby pee? Even if it's subversive, questioning authority baby pee?

Geek parents might care :)

We're trying to convince Sam that she should poop in the potty as well. We noticed her going in her underpants (training pants) yesterday, and I asked her why she didn't tell me that she needed to use the potty. "Because me have to poop in the living room!"

We'll get there, eventually :)

That's cute :)

People on the EC list would probably suggest putting a potty in the living room, or bringing whatever she's playing with to the bathroom, so that she doesn't have to stop what she's doing in order to poop, if that makes any sense.

I'm just hoping that there are enough parents or people who just think it's cool on K5 for the article to get past voting.

Well yeah- I tend to think that subversive, questioning authority, thought provoking child rearing concepts are important.

There's more to raising proper geek kids than just putting tuxpaint on a laptop, after all.
