1. Potty Party Cake for Girls Get a Potty Party Cake! Potty Party Cakes incorporate tools that will make potty training fun for your toddler. www.PottyPartyCakes.com offer both a boy and a girl version of the ultimate Potty Party tool. Order at least a week before your Potty Party date to allow for preparation of your cake and shipment to your location. When your cake arrives, you'll have a centerpiece for your Potty Party celebration that includes a potty seat, training diapers, big boy/girl underwear, party hats and a banner, a potty book and many other fun additions to encourage and celebrate the use of the big potty!
2. Having a toddler who is showing signs of interest in potty training is a very helpful part of the whole potty training experience. Less tantrums, less arguments and less headaches for mom and dad will result. Have a toddler who isn't showing those signs? Spend a couple of weeks talking about the potty or having your toddler spend time in bathroom with you so that they can see that its nothing to be frightened of or intimidated by is a great start. You'll know when the right time for YOUR child is.
3. Have your child help in the planning of his or her Potty Party. Let your toddler know that a Potty Party Cake especially for him from www.pottypartycakes.com is on its way and that you are going to have a party to celebrate the big day! Choose a day for your party that you will have the time to focus solely on your child and going to the bathroom. A long weekend works well because you'll ideally be able to work with your child and reinforce the progress.
4. Boys Potty Party Cake The "big day" is here! CELEBRATE! CELEBRATE! Start your day with a Potty Party. Use your Potty Party Cake as the centerpiece to your celebration. Add treats and plenty of your toddlers favorite drink. Utilize the tools in your cake, read the potty book with your toddler and then make your first trip to the potty (with the potty seat from your cake)
5. Stay on the potty for 10 minutes (or until your child "goes"). Your child may or may not go on the potty the first time - its okay! If you had a successful trip, WOO HOO! Cheer and praise your child. The clappers and noise makers that come with the Potty Party Cake are great for this. If your child didn't go the first time, put on a training diaper (included in cakes from www.pottypartycakes.com) and try again in a half an hour. Don't forget to make it a fun experience, try not to get frustrated.
6. Repeat Step 5 as necessary for 1-2 days. At the end of the two days, your toddler is going to be well on his or her way to being potty trained and you both should have had a fun weekend along the way.

Tips & Warnings

• Have fun and give lots of praise!
• Repetition is key so taking your child to the potty every half-hour or hour is going to reinforce what the urge to go feels like.
• Try not to get frustrated. There will most likely be accidents. Rool with the punches! Not every trip to the potty is successful but every one gets it sooner or later!
