Great introduction to concepts and fun to read
We bought this book for our 2 1/2 year old daughter about 6 months ago and she fell in love with it. It is her first book about using the potty and she really likes it. The text is in rhyme and it uses photographs of children and a teddy bear on different styles of potties. I like the photo's... -
Not very helpful, unless you're potty-training a teddy bear.
The pictures are photographs, which is what I wanted, but throughout the entire book (other than the cover!) the little girl is putting her teddy bear on the potty. This may cause an issue if the child only wants to put their bear on the toilet instead of themselves. I wanted my daughter to see...

Using a family restroom can cut back on germs
If you’re the parent of multiple children of both sexes, chances are you’ve been out in public and faced the dilemma of which bathroom you should use. This is especially true if your children are small and cannot safely enter the bathroom on their own.
For example, if you’re a father and have 2-year-old twin girls and a 6-year-old boy who all need to use the bathroom, you know they would gladly all follow you into whichever bathroom you choose and use the potty willingly and happily. But as a father, you cannot enter the women’s restroom without strange looks and disapproving words. And it’s certainly scary to think about taking your two little girls into the men’s restroom, where grown men are freely using the urinal, with parts your baby girls probably know nothing about proudly displayed.
Sending any of these children into the bathroom alone is probably the scariest part. There have been multiple stories in the mass media about children being abused in public restrooms, and on top of that, you have the most common offender: germs.
Super Secret Potty Training Tip | Mommy Drinks Because You Cry
I was very, very lucky when it came to potty training my oldest daughter, or so I thought.
At her old day care center the children moved into the toddler room at 16 months. To say she loved it in there is a HUGE understatement. She adored her new teacher, loved the cute little sleeping cots, and was in the room next to her best friend. But the most loved thing about the toddler room…the bathroom.
The bathroom at her center joined two toddler rooms, the Caterpillars and the Butterflies, together. It had a changing area for the children in her young toddler room, the Caterpillars, and two teeny tiny porcelain potties for the potty training children, the Butterflies, in the older toddler room. The potties were only to be used by Butterflies and by God my child wanted to use those toilets too. She would run into the bathroom, strip down and try to shimmy her little tushy up on the pot. Because once she used the toilet, she would metamorphosis into a Butterfly.
