Mommy bootcamp: Potty Training

So as I learn new things through the Mommy bootcamp I will post some tricks. We are back into potty training again, we got a little side tracked during the holidays. I had some tips from fellow mommies and learned somethings on my own. Below is a list of things that have helped out alot...so far

1. Baby Legs: They are leg warmers for boys and girls. They are one size fits all and come in a ton of designs. The reason I love these is because it keeps their little legs warm with out getting in the way when rushing to the potty. The faster we get to the potty and on the pot the more likely we are to pee in the potty not our diaper. (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003TY3OPW/ref=ord_cart_shr?ie=UTF8&m=AG32KV25K8B8A) Plus they are great on Connor as well. It saves time from having to pull off pants to change the diaper.

2. Bjorn potty: We got ours on Amazon.com. Too many people go out and get the expensive fancy singing potty and forget the focus is on peeing in the potty not sitting and being entertained by the musical chair. I can see why this may work for some people and if you have extra money to spend on one great but for all purposes this cheap potty does the trick.

3. Dollar store books: I have new ones rotating in the bathroom to keep him focused at the job at hand. I check out Targets dollar section and also the dollar store to keep things in our budget. T loves that each time he goes in there they are different books.

4. Pull ups: We do not use that as a teaching tool just as easy access in the rush to catch the pee in the potty. I do not think T understands the difference between pull ups and diapers. When we get the hang of things more than we will move to big boy pants.

5. Travel Potty: We have not used this yet but a neighbor of mine suggested to have it in the car when we are on the go. It looks like a great product to have and cheap (http://www.amazon.com/Kalencom-1730-blue-Potty-Blue/dp/B000F1MM2I/ref=sr_1_6?ie=UTF8&qid=1295469422&sr=8-6)

6. Piddle Pad: We also have not used this yet but got this tip from a fellow mom as well for when we are in full steam to prevent having to wash the car seat all the time. (http://www.amazon.com/Summer-Infant-Deluxe-Piddle-Black/dp/B0038JE3QC/ref=pd_sim_ba_5)

Well so far that is what I have, I am sure as we get further into the process I will have more.
