People Love the Potty Watch for Potty Training

“What a great idea for potty training! Luke loves his Potty Watch – he doesn’t want to take it off. It made a big difference in his attitude and made toilet training a lot more fun. Thank you!” – Amy S., Eagle Mtn., UT

“Alexandra adores the Potty Watch. Getting her to go to the toilet consistently was always a trial. The Potty Watch reminded both of us when it was time to try, and gave her the confidence she needed to finish the job and practically potty train herself.” – Crystal P., Houston, TX

“The Potty Watch helps Clare and I focus on the task at hand, and the silly songs make it fun for both of us.” – Jane H., San Jose, CA

“Our Dr. recommended a potty watch and found yours to be the only one reasonable to buy. Thanks for making potty training help affordable.” – Joshua T., Arvada, CO

“We bought Potty Watches for all of our grandkids because we love the concept. I call it the 4-R wonder gadget. The Potty Watch does the reminding, the parents provide the reward, and the child remembers when to go and takes responsibility for their toilet training.” – Clara P., Rochester, NY

Parents Have a New Ally in Toilet Training!

Half the Battle of Toilet Training is to remind the child when it’s time to go potty. The Potty Watch™ by Potty Time takes care of that job for you. It’s easy for parents and fun for kids.

Children Respond to Musical Reminders

Music and blinking lights get children’s attention in a way that’s gentle and entertaining. When toddlers are busy playing, getting their attention for toilet training can sometimes be a challenge. A child wearing a Potty Watch actually stops what they’re doing and gets your attention to help them go potty.

Experts Advise Parents to Make Toilet Training Fun

From sinking cherrios to reading Once Upon a Potty, experts are stressing how important the fun factor is to potty training. Creating a high-stress situation in which children are unhappy about potty training can leave parents frustrated and children wet.

Starting to Stress a Bit!!!

Okay, I am starting to stress a little.  I promised myself I would not.  Easter is coming, Michael’s surgery, and vacation literally on the heels of that.  Suitcases are down and ready to be packed.  I washed all the kids summer clothes, even the new stuff and it is ready to be packed.  Shopping is done for Easter dinner, eggs still need to be colored, the Easter Bunny has a lot of eggs and baskets to fill.  Lists are made and added to daily of everything that must be done.  The van is pretty well cleaned, we just have to put in the floormats we took out to clean and do a few little things and we will be good to pack.  I have to get together some fabulously interesting DVDs for the kiddies that will make the long drives go by quickly.  So, I  have moments of panic that set in, thinking if I will get everything done, even though I realize there are stores all along the way if we forget anything.  Last night I had a dream, we forgot the kids life preservers, so they could not go swimming.  When the panic sets in, I take a deep breath and try to relax.  I have told myself from the beginning, that I was not going to put huge expectations on this trip that would have to be met.  That is just not something to do when traveling with 2 toddlers.  So I am hoping to clean house, prepare some Easter desserts, get some packing done and relax as much as I can before we take off.

How are you before a big trip?  Do you stress?  Are you a list maker?  Do you set high expectations or do your go with the flow?  Share your stories here!!!

Build A Dream Playhouses Review & Give-Away!!! {Give-Away Ended}

                                                          Build a Dream Playhouses
Build A Dream Playhouses sent me a Pop N’ Play Castle to review.  It was up straight out of the box and only needed about 15 seconds to push a couple of flaps down.  My 4 year old was glad to do the exploring.   As you can see from the photos he had a grand time.  This is great because it can be decorated by the kids with markers, crayons or paint.  Makes a great rainy day activity.  It would also be a great activity for a birthday party or play date.  It is constructed well and is very sturdy.  It allows for a lot of imaginary and constructive play.

The Children’s Labels Company Review & Give-Away!!! {Give-Away Ended}

Diana at The Children’s Labels Company sent me a nice assortment of their products.  She sent me dishwasher safe, waterproof name labels, iron on labels for light and dark fabrics, and the cutest bag tags.  I have to admit when I saw that these were waterproof and would withstand the dishwasher I was skeptical for a few reasons.  The first being, I know labels and water don’t usually mix too well.  Second, which will be no surprise for those who know me, since I am a germophobe, I have a dishwasher that sanitizes everything, with not only the hottest water but steam and heat.  So, when you open my dishwasher the steam that emits is so strong it could strip your wallpaper.

I had just recently picked up some Curious Chef Mugs for the boys at Wegmans (love my Wegmans), so I thought I would use them as my guinea pigs.  I read the instructions and you apply the labels to a clean dry surface and not wash or get it wet for 24 hours.  After the time was up I placed the cups in with the dishes and ran my usual heavy-duty cycle with a high temperature scrub and sanitizing cycle.  They did not stand a chance.  When it was finished and I opened the dishwasher for my facial and the steam just filled the kitchen, I knew it would not be good.  I was shocked to reach in and find the labels as bright and crisp and secure as they were before I put them in their exfoiliating sauna.  A few days ago, we put them on the boys identical excavators.  They have been playing in the dirt and rain with these trucks and the labels are readable and secure.

Now, I am going to set about labeling everything in site.  It is great because we are going on vacation and I can label the kids toys and clothes.  It works really well because we usually buy two of everything for our Irish Twins.  It is also the start of T-ball so I can label Ethan’s bat and batting helmet and mitt so it will not get mixed up with the team equipment.  These labels are great for labeling bottles and sippy cups for daycare, pre-school or the church nursery.  The possibilities are endless.

After the Wash!!!

Now for the best part!!!  The Children’s Labels Company is giving me three certificates for 3 lucky blog readers.  You will be able to get your very own personalized labels with the gift certificate.

Mandatory Entry-Go to The Children’s Labels Company and tell the design you like the most and leave me a comment here with what it is.  You must complete the mandatory entry or the extra entries will not count.

Extra Entries- Make sure to leave a separate comment for each additional entry.  Mandatory entry must be done or all other entries will be deleted.

Tradewind Books, “On My Walk” Book Review & Give-Away!!! {Give-Away Ended}

Recently Tradewind Books sent me a book to review and one to use for a give-away.  They sent me the children’s book, “On My Way” by Kari-Lynn Winters and illustrated by Christina Leist.  I shared it with my 2 year old Luke tonight, and he just loved it.  It was such a fitting and relative book for us because we take a lot of walks, and live in the country.  This book follows a small child as he walks with his mother and his dog in the country.  Luke loved that the dog looked like one of our dogs, Delilah.  It was a great book because even though the words on each page were few, the content allowed us to talk about our own experiences.  For instance the child sees a frog and we talked about how we see frogs on our walks.  He was delighted  seeing  a little boy like him, seeing the same things he does, on his walk.  It was a short, pleasant read and was just perfect for spurring conversation in a toddler or pre-schooler.  The illustrations are charming and amusing, like when the dog is licking the boy’s ice cream cone.  We give this book 2 thumbs up, oh wait, 4 thumbs up!!!

excerpt:

On my walk,
my summer walk,
I hear a horse, clippity-clop, clippity-clop,
and a frog, frippity-frop, frippity-frop          

Tradewind Books so generously supplied me with an additional book to give-away to a lucky blog reader.
