Painless potty training: readiness and chocolate
Categories: Toddler Gear
My two-and-a-half year old decided he was ready to be potty trained a few weeks ago. First he was curious to try the toilet, and would go on occasion.

Kaboost!
Categories: Baby, Nursing & Feeding, Toddler Gear
There are a lot of new high chair concepts out there (and I’ve got a detailed review of these in the works), but I love this simple idea that solves the table-height problem at its most basic level. Kids are too short to reach the table, so why not just give the chair a boost?… read more!

No, it’s not a tissue box.
Categories: Baby, Toddler Gear
Check this out. It’s a disposable potty. It’s basically a small cardboard box with a hole in the top and a hygenic liner inside. It’s primitive, but it will do the trick in a pinch. As I see it, there’s no reason not to keep one or two in the trunk of the car. The… read more!
