A lot of people who know me know that I LOVE POTTY TRAINING! I love competitions, and I feel like potty training is a game between me and the child’s bowels/bladder.

I modified the “potty training in a day” instructions from some book and won. The boardgame would’ve have been the perfect addition. It might even be more effective than the Taser I used on my last child.

Hey, just stumbled on your blog…..you’re hilarous

And, take it with a grain of salt, if the first entry had been about car engines or nuclear energy….chances are, I’d have passed your blog by. But, you caught my eye with the potty training thing.

We are going through the same thing. My child will be 3 in two weeks and he has actually regressed. He started out fine back in the summer. I had him peeing in the potty no problem. Then, he went to a baby sitter for a day and they didn’t keep it up. He hasn’t gone in the toilet since.

Anyhoo, I’ll be watching your blog for updates. Seems like that little game might work.

Please, please post your progress?? Oh, and thanks for the laugh

Dude, move over Dr. Phil (does Dr. Phil give parenting advice? Or just advice to people who happen to be parents? If that is the case, insert some Parenting Guru here & then repeat the move over part)!

Okay, TKT! I was going to say I HATE POTTY TRAINING on my blog today. Well, I'll still say it.

I'm right here WITH YOU. My 3 yo WILL NOT DO IT! We bought spidey undies. Thrown away 2 pairs! We got pullups. We talk about being a big boy and going to school.

The kid hates the video from the library Potty Power.

Try having Travis PEE on cheerios.

And in return he gets a gummy bear or some other type of small reward.

We are doing the gummy letters. That way he also gets to tell me what letter he has.

Only POOP in the potty gets a big toy like a car or whatever.

It totally sucks, but my pediatrician says they will be trained by kindergarten. It happens. And soon I'll look back and laugh.

Ha. Done this 2x with 2 kids already. It sucks.

I can’t tell you how much this whole thing made me laugh. You are such a good writer…you can really turn a phrase. I hope he wins the ultimate prize soon and he doesn’t get mired in the diarrhea swamp. You should be sending that game out to publishers. You could make millions! I mean what other game has dancing turds? Hit em with the dancing turds before the market gets saturated!

I’d like a bigger copy of the image so I can try to sell it to Milton Bradley…I mean, so I can see it better. Seriously, this is awesome.

I would have bought this when I was potty training my kids. You should seriously consider approaching a game company with your idea. It’s fantastic.

Thomas,
‘turd that could’ve been’ LOL!! Too funny! I love your illustration! :*) You should seriously consider marketing this as a game for parents who are potty training their kids. You could make a lot of money…people would buy this…

Fab illustration – Thomas. My niece is at the same potty training point as Travis – it’s so much fun. Not!
