I used EC with my son from about 1 month to 3 months old. He was doing great! I was catching almost every single poop. Then my husband got pretty severely injured and I had to basically take care of him and our baby by myself while doing school full time so I dropped EC to keep a little sanity lol. That went on for about three months. When I put my baby back on his potty around 6 months old he absolutely hated it. I would put him on it when I knew he was about to poop but he would just cry and as soon as I put his diaper back on him, he would poop. He’s about to be 10 months old now and I would really like to start potty training him. I still try to put him on his potty occasionally but he still hates it. Does anyone have any tips for starting EC with an older baby who knows to use his diaper and does not like his potty? He is very tall also, so I might need to get him a regular potty chair. Any advice is welcome!

I’ve taken five years of private piano lessons, five years of private violin lessons, and a semester of private guitar, but none of my teachers ever taught me the pattern that every major scale follows and the pattern that every minor scale follows of whole steps and half steps. Did they just expect me to notice without pointing it out? I was always taught to just memorize the notes. But I was messing with my keyboard today and I saw the pattern. Am I an idiot for just now seeing this? Or is this just not a method used in teaching music? And everyone just memorizes scales instead of the patterns?

Update: I watched a yt video explaining the circle of fifths by Pianoly. She explained it so well and things are starting to make sense 🤣 I never knew there were so many patterns that make up music. I really wish one of my teachers would have explained this to me 🥲
