Pee Pee Potty Made Easy
It’s time to start potty training our 2 year old daughter. You would think that this would be a piece of cake since she is our 3rd child to go through this process. But it is not!! My mom who’s a daycare provider potty trained our 2 oldest kids…so we are essentially starting from scratch with our 2 year old. I have received various tips on how to potty train from my day care provider, my mom, my aunts and several other people. The one common tip that they all gave us was to read a potty training book to our child that explained the process.
The book that we love the most is “Once Upon A Potty – Girl” (there is also a Boy edition.) This is a great board book that explains the child’s body parts and the process of potty training. It also comes with a CD that includes potty songs as well as a reading of the book. Everyone in the house loves this book. When the book first arrived, my 6 year old read it to me twice from cover to cover. She just loved the story. She giggled when I wrote “Once Upon A Potty” on her reading log that week. She said her teacher was going to think that she was potty training. She then took the CD into her bedroom (that she shares with our 2yr old.) They played the CD and read the book together. About an hour later, my 2 year old runs into my bedroom and says: “Mommy – yucky ….booboo in the potty” as she was pointing to a picture of a potty with “Wee Wee” and “Poo Poo” inside of it. From that day on, “Once Upon a Potty” has been our favorite potty training book. We read the book to our daughter every time she uses the potty. We also listen to the CD often.
Once Upon A Potty gets the BMWK seal of approval. Kudos to the Parent Bloggers for turning us on to such a good find.
