Please allow me to take a moment to introduce the newest member of our family. She doesn't have a name yet, but already has a purpose. According to our latest library addition about potty learning
, a doll which potties can help a child connect the idea of drinking, urinating, and wetness. So, today, we began our search for such a doll. First, please know that they only come in pink. Some are even capable of pooping, if fed special separately purchased "baby food"
. But baby J liked this little girl. She has her own potty which is very similar to his froggy potty
(also chosen by him, per "the book"). We searched for big boy pants and found "mouse" (Mickey Mouse Clubhouse) underpants which he gleefully carried around the store.

When it comes to such matters, there is no shortage in the potty market. Actualy potties can range from $9.99 to unlimited amounts (the most expensive I found was $80.99!! It had better train the child for you). Some have splash guards or music or handle bars. There are "starter potties" and those for advanced children. The book section is loaded with wisdom on the matter too. But, when you make it to the potty-ing dolls, expect a limited selection of girl dolls.
One comes with juice packets, baby food, and disposable diapers (I'm too cheap to buy them for my own son, why would I buy them for a doll?!?). The other comes with cloth diapers, a potty chair, and a BPA-free (not really) bottle.
Everything Potty Training Book: $9.99
Lots to Love Babies potty doll with accessories: $15.00
"Mouse" underpants: $9.99
Baby J splashing in LTLB's toilet water: Priceless
I thought potty training was still in the future. Is this because of him peeing in the cup? I wish you all the best, and are there any ideas on who will be trained first. My vote is for potty girl.
ReplyDeletePotty girl is doing splendidly. Especially considering that she isn't allowed to drink from her own bottle. Baby J has realized that since she potties while drinking that he is going to skip a step and empty the bottle into her potty for her. It save A LOT of time... LOL!
