potty training

1. [prince lionheart - potty seat] this is the seat we use at home, keeping it right next to the potty
2. [babyganics - flushable wipes] for messy situations, easy and flushable
3. [minion toddler boy undies] this specific pair of undies is a favorite.. i need like 26 more..
4. [everyone poops- taro gomi] the best book ever. even if not making doodies on the potty.
& [potty - leslie patricelli] another great book for curious minds.
5. [oxo - 2 in 1 go potty] our travel & on the go potty (more about this to come!)
6. [folding black step stool] helps getting up and down easy. plus we have a tiny bathroom, and this folding stool fits right next to the potty.


the "3 day potty training method" worked for us!
let me tell you, i thought this process would be so exhausting and so stressful. and to be honest i didn't believe it would work so fast... well the first day was a little exhausting and a little bit stressful, but mostly because i built it up into something i dreaded.. and people will talk about boys being so hard to potty train... but this 23 month old totally caught on quickly and is super proud of himself.

traveling with a toddler

a few tips on packing and traveling with a toddler.

pack light. as light as you can considering the littlest one usually requires the most stuff. the lighter and smaller the suitcase, the easier it will be with a car seat and stroller, etc.  

we are heading out on a giant family alaskan cruise and getting prepared early helps ease the stress of packing. sometimes when i wait until last minute, i end up packing too much or forgetting a bunch of things.
