Having Trouble Potty Training? This Helped My Son So Much!

I spoke about this book in a previous post and wanted to share it with everyone. The book is well tattered at this point because we've had it for a while. We had a hard time getting my son to use the potty. A few months after he turned 3 I saw a video of one of my favorite people in the world reading this book to his kids. It was adorable, and also I wanted to find out who wrote the book so that I might find it for my son. Listening to Misha Collins read this book, my initial thought was, "This is a bit graphic for a 3 year old." lol. But after thinking about it for a while, I realized that it would be really good for him to learn these things about his own body and sensations, and that it would help him understand why he needs to go to the potty. I came to the conclusion that the Author of this book is a genius!

We received the book a day or tow before I went into the hospital where I spent the next 5 days. I had only gotten to read it to him a few dozen times before I left.... He liked it and when he likes a book he wants you to read it over and over, and over. While I was gone, my mom read the book to him. I'm sure she got to read that thing a million or more times because he seemed to really enjoy it. She said that one day he looked at her and said, "Go Potty like Joshua? I want to use the Potty like Joshua." or something to that effect. So this book really helped my son understand that he must use the potty.

After searching the title and author, I found this book on Amazon (becuase you know I like Amazon) for less than $3. There were several versions of the book. Ones for girls, ones for boys, ones with sound buttons, and ones without. The original I think is a longer version than this one, but this one was fun for him and had all the important stuff in it.

So if you are having trouble potty training, this may be the thing for you! It's always worth a try!

Here, for your entertainment, is Misha Collins reading the book to his two adorable kids.
