This is not one of your “run-of-the-mill” potty training postings. Read on….
My daughter has moved through the toilet learning phase. For a couple months now she has been successfully keeping dry and going to the potty on her own.
This is an exciting milestone BUT I have been waiting for THE toilet learning disaster. My daughter uses a Baby Bjorn potty. She has had it since her second birthday and it’s probably her favourite “chair” in the house. What’s great about the potty is the little bowl can be pulled out from the base and dumped into the toilet.
However, my fear lays in the design of this “bowl”. You see, when my daughter goes to the toilet she removes this bowl and triumphantly runs to you… no matter what room (or floor of the house) you’re in. Many times I imagine her tripping over the threshold of the office and helplessly watching a potty full of urine and feces flying up towards my face.
Yes it’s a gross image but one that I can’t shake from my head.

Yeah… I would have nightmares about that, too. We are in the potty training phase – kinda. It depends on the day. Sometimes he insists on sitting on the potty – forEVER. Sometimes he won’t go near it. No ACTUAL potty – IN the potty. But we’ll get there.
Good luck with your potty training! And I sincerely hope you never find out what it’s like to clean a bowl of potty off your clothes… :)
Great post! You made me laugh out loud – I’m at the office at the moment so I’m sure a person or two must think I’m nuts.
I must tell you that I really enjoy reading your blog posts! So much so that I’ve shared you will my friends via the Versatile Blogger Award
