Potty Rocker Anatomy 102


If you missed Potty Rocker 101, you'll want to be sure and read THIS to get a better understanding of The Potty Rocker and all his swag. Don't worry, we missed classes growing up too. Accidents happen.

Now, in Potty Rocker 102 we tackle two key pieces of The Potty Rocker's attire: 1) The Bowl-tie; and 2) His Poostache.

The Bowl-tie
The Bowl-tie might remind  you of Vineyard Vines or Southern Proper's beautiful wardrobe enhancers, but the truth is, he's more of a Kula Project bowl-tie guy. He uses resources around him to make his gear and they make him a perfect potty gentleman. The Potty Rocker never pushes anyone out of line for the potty and always flushes! This Potty Rocker would never, ever be caught leaving the lid up. Oh no, he's way too proper for that. In fact, we know some houses where the Dads might need to rock a little Bowl-tie as a reminder to put that lid back in its place after winning the potty race...right? We imagine at this point you'll likely be thinking about bow ties the a little differently, and that's great. We want you giggling when you see them. Try it out with your little stinker. What happens when they rock a Bowl-tie and it gives them magical powers to be a proper potty rocker?

The Poostache
The Potty Rocker's Poostache reminds little stinkers that it's okay to ask, and best to know, where the potty is in all places. In fact, most adults do this inherently too. I mean, you don't go visit a restaurant and ask your server where he parked his car when you need to rock it to the potty, do you? No, if you're asking anyone a question about a place they know better than you when you get that feeling that you have to go, you ask for directions to the bathroom. To keep you prepared, The Potty Rocker wanted to share some special ways his Poostache has helped him rock it in different places of the world. Consider sharing these variations of ways to ask the location of the bathroom with your little one. They'll love the new twist on rocking it to the potty!
