As a parent of a toddler who is in the beginning phases of potty training, I know that the day I throw away that last diaper will be a celebration in our household. I’m going to throw a party for my husband and I when we make it through to the other side. Someone once told me that everybody they’ve ever known is potty trained, which means that our chances of being successful with our son are pretty much guaranteed. In February, I’ll be starting a new series on potty training. Some of you may look with anticipation, while others may dread this developmental stage. Come back starting February 2 for articles, tips, interviews, product picks and giveaways.
Many thanks to our wonderful sponsors:
Spread the word and gain up to 2 extra entries for each giveaway. You can place the cute little button hubby made on your blog through February 13 and/or tweet about the event. Be sure to place the permalink of your blog (or blog post) and/or tweet in the Mister Linky below. If you have any questions, feel free to email me.

We’re finished with the potty training process, but I’ll still stay tuned to hear about your experiences.
Have you tried the BabyBjorn potty chair? It’s fabulous – sleek, unobtrusive, and easy-to-clean. I highly recommend it.
Can’t wait to see what you have planned! 🙂
This is great Caryn! If you need any ideas let me know.

We’re starting potty training too! Added your cute button…
We actually just bought big boy underwear and training pants for my lil’ man this weekend and he is more fascinated with flushing toilet paper down the toliet than actually using it!
I added your button! can’t wait to follow this journey we’re getting redy to start with our son so I hope to get some great ideas 🙂
After seeing that you were doing this on Mommy Mandy, I was curious if you knew about the Free Potty Training Kit through Pampers? I signed up to get mine for my little guy-I’ll be starting with him in the summer 🙂

Hi! I couldn’t add the button as a link, as someone above mentioned, it only showed text. But I added it as a pic, and wrote a blog post about the potty party with links in the post!! Awesome idea!!!
I added your button. My 23 month old twins are on the verge of being ready. Yikes!
I couldn’t get your button to work like many other comments. I went ahead and posted the button as a picture with a link to your site.
What a great party. We are in the middle of pottying right now.
i just twittered about the contest and posted a link 😉
I blogged about your potty party because I had the same issues with the button. 🙂
Im glad I found this!
Added your button 🙂
Some kids may take longer if they are strong-willed, but ultimately all kids get this jist of potty training. Hang in there!
