I hated potty training.
Awful.
Horrible.
I was content changing diapers for eternity.
Yes, I would prefer to wash cloth diapers than potty train.
But we survived.
In a couple years I will be on that adventure again. Yippee.
This is the one thing that helped us make it.It is probably the best baby purchase I have made. Ever.
The girls use it nearly every day.
We are on the go a lot, and I am not a huge fan of public restrooms.
Either are they.
It goes to the park, the beach and Disneyland.
It has saved us so much laundry.
But the idiots at Fisher Price have discontinued it.
It is getting really hard to find.
I bought four of them. One for each of our cars, and one for each of the grandma's cars.
I noticed that they are selling for as much as $170 online.
That is just plain insane.
So, if you have kids, or might ever have them, you need to fetch yourself one now. Seriously. Just $17 online at Wal Mart. Buy a few.
I have even considered giving it as a birthday present to every two year old I know. But that might not go over too well.
Because you never know when you will be driving the kids by yourself while you are pregnant, as they nap and you have to go to the bathroom, and you are in a sketchy part of LA and you don't want to wake them up to haul them into a creepy gas station bathroom, and you are thankful you have a travel potty in the back of the van so you don't have an accident of your own.
Not like I know about that.
Or have ever done that.
Like five times or anything.
Seriously.
All I have to say is you CRACK me up!! I am laughing out loud while I eat my lunch and catch up on life in the blog world!!
ReplyDeleteLOVE it! ha ha ha!

I have a little man who turned 2 back in October. We've ventured into the world of potty training. #1 is down but not #2 yet. I've been dreading car rides once we are totally off diapers. I was planning on taking a training potty in the car but was totally dreading having to clean it up out and about... and really had no idea how I was going to. This is PERFECT. I ordered one just now. THANKS!
ReplyDeletedid you really just admit that?
ReplyDeleteyou are brave.
that is a pretty cool invention. i am done with potty training forever - thankfully.

There are soo many times where we are out in the middle of nowhere and no I'll know that we will always be able to get to the potty! Be sure to stop by my blog for a giveaway that I'm having!
