Inexplicable Ways

Humbly building the universe

  • Song of the Builders

    On a summer morning
    I sat down
    on a hillside
    to think about God--
    a worthy pastime
    Near me, I saw
    a single cricket;
    it was moving the grains of the hillside
    this way and that way
    How great was its energy
    how humble its effort
    Let us hope
    it will always be like this
    each of us going on
    in our inexplicable ways
    building the universe.

    Just keep at the infant potty training. You and your babe will find a rhythum. Great list, by the way, I think I might use it for myself! :)

    Elimination communication rocks. I actually made up some charts of the money savings by practicing it. Feel free to check them out! There’s video footage too!

    I’ve tried three times since Saturday to get Erik interested in the sink. He giggles at us in the mirror and reaches around to grab my nose. I shall persevere!

  3. I caught one poo on the toilet quite by accident. So I decided if I just held her diaperless and watched closely, I would see some sign. The next thing I knew, I was poo’d upon. I’m catching the wake-up-from-napping pees though. Progress.

    Julie, Tyler and I are really interested in ECing. We have started introducing the potty to Preston and he seems quite interested. I wish we could have come last weekend to hear more. I never knew you could do that :) could you send me any info. you have on it. Or if anyone has any good websites, we would love to read more. bgodfrey@greenville.k12.sc.us. Glad to hear Cedar is such a Healthy Zest Quest kid :)
