The Light At The End of the Potty Training Tunnel
Nov 19 2007
Our 2 1/2 year old daughter is now officially day-time potty trained! Knock on wood. It’s been a few weeks without any accidents so we are crossing our fingers that we can now move on to the next stage of our parenting lives. My two (and only) posts where I mention potty training are here and here. Correction: I did also mention potty training on my Are We There Yet? When Will We Get There?! post.
Now for a couple of interesting, recent posts on Boing Boing related to toilets and potty training to liven up your day!
Etsy seller Vital makes a variety of toilet-tank decals, from this jellyfish to manatees, SCUBA divers, catfish, and bicycles, drain-plugs, Vespas and skeleton-keys. Link (via Cribcandy)

BB reader Bill Bliss, who shared some cool photos from Ghana with us earlier this year, says…”I was in Greece recently, and in the Agora in Athens there’s a museum. There’s an artifact in there that I just had to take a picture of! It’s a potty training seat made from clay (partially reconstructed, from the looks of it). Who knew?”
I have to say, it’s great to hear there’s a light at the end of the tunnel. Obviously we haven’t even started potty training Jack yet, but I’m terrified. With my oldest, he went to his grandparents for the weekend and came back using the toilet. I’m petrified of actually having to teach my son to use a toilet.
I guess that’s a large part of why I got married. 🙂
Wow, what great grandparents you have who can potty train in a weekend! What better reason to get married than to have help with potty training! 🙂
