Must Love Pooh

Trudging through stinky parenting times is tough. We know. It's not always rainbows and unicorns. But, today is a gift. Be present with your kiddo. It may stink, but your kid doesn't. Make today your favorite. Make today your family's favorite. Find ways to smile and laugh and breathe - together. Thanks for the reminder, Pooh.

Peace,

Your Porcelain Throne Awaits. Rule It.

How to teach your little stinker to be a great leader and rule with awesomeness - thanks to a little inspirational image from Einstein Brothers Bagels.

Turns out, learning to rock the Porcelain Throne can actually teach your kiddo a thing or two. Life lessons from the Porcelain Throne:

• When life hands you crap, flush it.
• Don't carry pooh around with you, just let it go.
• It's not healthy to hold waste in. Listen to your body. Get to a good spot and release it.
• You should always arrive on time (or even a little early). Being late could be disastrous.
• Your throne is waiting for you. Rule it. 
• The more you play your way to the throne, the more others will want to follow.
• Sometimes doors should be closed. Remember, when life closes one door, another one opens. Trust us, you don't want to enter the door that's closed. There's some stinky stuff doing down in there.
• Bottom line - Everyone experiences stinky times in life. Don't worry. This too shall pass.

Play in the Potty - Literally

Yes, that's a toilet. Yes, that's a slide. Yes, children are wearing pooh hats on their heads. And, yes, they're playing their way through the potty - literally.

The National Museum of Emerging Science and Innovation in Tokyo, Japan is helping kids play their way through the potty and we love it! The 5-meter-tall toilet slide is designed help children better understand what happens to #1 & #2 when it disappears down the loo! Brilliant!

The exhibit focuses on how the toilet has changed our daily lives and helps visitors understand what the most environmentally-friendly and ideal toilet is. Additionally, it helps children and adults both understand the need to access for all to clean water and toilets and explores the topic of what would happen to humans if we didn't have toilets. What do you think would happen?

Can't make it to Tokyo before October 15th when the exhibit closes? No big deal. This video takes you and your little stinker inside the exhibit!

While you may not have the ability to make a giant toilet slide for your kiddo to play through, check out these 19 Brilliant Hacks that may take you from potty training to rocking the potty through play!! If nothing else, you'll laugh.

The Let's Potty Game

If you've ever spent time around children there's a good chance that when you put the two words POTTY and TRAINING together your blood pressure starts to rise. Potty training: It stinks. We know. That's why we're set on helping families ROCK their way to the potty with joy and laughter and PLAY. That's also why we were thrilled upon finding the Let's Potty game that invites families to take part in a "FUN-filled journey to aid in the potty training process!" Yay for play!

A Gold Mom's Choice Award winner, the Let's Play game rolls out some laughter centered around that stinky room in your house...really, you have your guide, ROLLY - the toilet tissue roll, to lead you through the game. Look, even the Potty Rocker rocked his way through the board!

We love the way the Let's Potty game invites families to sit down and play together. It's easy to forget that we have to both USE bathroom language and MODEL bathroom etiquette for our kiddos to really get it. Let's face it, we take it for granted that we've been rockin' the potty for decades. Our little stinkers have only ever known the free release of diapers, so we have to be patient and play our way through this poopie time.

Using the Let's Potty game gives grown-up Potty Rockers the language kiddos need to hear. As you and your future Potty Rocker draw potty cards and move through the house (aka, the board game), your child will giggle at the comments like, "Uh-oh! Your pants look droopy. Next time use the potty to make a poopie!" Even better though, when it happens in real life - because, yes, accidents happen - you can reference the Let's Potty game and remind your little stinker that his aim is for the potty, not droopy drawers.

The game provides a way to celebrate your kiddo and his up-and-coming bathroom domination. Let's Potty gives you a chance to cut loose and tap into your inner child too. Instead of stressing through this stinky parenting time, play your way through it with laughter and make memories with your child(ren). When you're less stressed, they're less stressed. When you're playing more, they're playing more. And we all know laughter is contagious.

Like Let's Potty says, make this a "fun-filled journey" because each day you rock your way to the potty with your little one they learn how to rock their way through life with family, laughter, joy and love!

Let's Potty!!

A Potty Rocker Wanna-Be

Which of the two above went #1 on the beach? If your guess is the furball on the left who's trying to be a potty rocker imposter, you're right. He tries, he really does, but even at the ripe ole age of five he still regresses. He's a potty rocker wanna-be and we're actually okay with that.

Here's why:

There's an excellent chance you know a little stinker who's a Potty Rocker Wanna-Be too. Sure, they want to ditch the nightly pull-ups, but the ease of letting go when you gotta go is just too enticing. As parents, you shrill with excitement at the words, "Mom, I have to go potty" when you're starting to ditch those diapers. Your kiddo has enlisted himself in the Potty Rocker Wanna-Be stage and that's something smile about.

As time goes by, the, "Daddy, I have go potty" phrases might get tiring. I mean, let's say you're one of the "People with Kids at the Beach" and you FINALLY, FINALLY just made it down to the sand with your, "boogie boards, kick boards, buckets, shovels, rakes, plastic things shaped like stars and turtles, coolers, chairs, towels, eight varieties of sunscreen, umbrellas, and a giant blanket" (for starters). You're getting as settled in as your gonna be and you're little stinker (who assured you he didn't need to rock the potty right before leaving the house) needs to go. Have no fear, the ocean is here.

Your kid can be a Potty Rocker all day long with those waves providing a gigantic potty from Mother Earth. Potty Rocker Wanna-Be's can step into full Potty Rocker status and you don't have to make a mad-dash back to the house. While we'll be the first to admit that peeing in the pool is a #1 No-No (I mean, we even have a PSA by The Potty Rocker himself about it), science actually shows its A-OKAY to let your little stinker use the ocean as his potty. The beach may just be the perfect place for Potty Rocker Wanna-Be's to make the transition to full blown Potty Rockers. They don't even need the imposter outfit, they can own it like the awesome rocker's they really are!

As this summer winds down, simply enjoy the potty beach!

Celebrate YOUR Potty Rockin' Hero

***The following blog post can be read in both English and Deutsch in honor of celebrating Germany's World Cup win and our desire to respect their native language to commend their win! For readers, please choose your language preference and enjoy***

ENGLISH:

The opportunity for a team to win the FIFA World Cup happens once every four years. It is an epic moment for the winners and spectators. Most would say it is a life-changing experience.

We think this way about the work of The Potty Rocker. In this case, we think of the epic moment for your own little potty rockers (or soon to be rockers). While your child doesn't learn to use the potty every four years, when it all clicks for your little stinker it's certainly a life-changing experience.

As the World Cup comes to a close, we applaud Germany and the strength of their players! They certainly know how to rock their way to a win.

This four-year sporting event that brings sports fans together can also remind us of the simpler things in life. You'll never get to celebrate your kiddo's smile upon flushing that first pee or waking up with a dry pull up! It's easy to miss the awesomeness of these moments since they don't have billion dollar sponsors and four-year build ups. But they're monumental just the same.

Just as Germany's players are heroes to the Germany, your kid is a hero too. A hero to the potty. You have much to celebrate!

Happy potty rockin'

Nicole & Lydia

DEUTSCH:

Die Gelegenheit für eine Mannschaft um die WM zu gewinnen geschieht nur jede vier Jahre. Es ist ein epischer Moment für die Gewinner und Zuschauer. Die meisten würden sagen, dass es eine lebensverändernde Erfahrung ist.

Wir denken, auf diese Weise über "The Potty Rocker". In diesem Fall denken wir an die epischen Moment für Ihr eigenes kleines Potty Rocker (oder bald Potty Rocker sein). Natürlich Ihr Kind nicht lernen müssen, um die Toilette zu je 4 Jahre verwenden. Aber wenn es funktuniert für Ihren kleinen "Stinker" es ist sicherlich eine lebensverändernde Erfahrung.

Da die Weltmeisterschaft zu einem Ende kommt, begrüßen wir Deutschland und die Stärke ihrer Spieler! Sie sicherlich wissen, wie man den Weg zu einem Sieg zu "rocken".

Die WM nicht nur bringt Sport-Fans zusammen sondern auch erinnern uns an die einfachen Dinge im Leben. Zum Beispiel, das Lächeln von Ihrem Kind nachdem seine erste Spülung! Oder früh am Morgen eine trockene Windel. Es ist einfach, die freude dieser Momente verpassen, weil sie nicht über Milliarden-Dollar-Sponsoren und Vier-Jahres-Build-ups haben. Aber sie sind auch ganz erheblich.

Die Deutsche Fußballer sind jetzt alle Helden. Aber auch ist Ihr Kind ein Held. Ein Held auf dem Potty. Sie haben viel zu feiern!
