Pull-Ups First Flush Party!

Huggies Pull Ups Logo

As you know, I’ve been working on potty training my little sweetheart and we’re making progress.  Small baby steps.  Pull-Ups knows that parents often dread potty training and procrastinate starting the process.  They are seeking to make the process easy and fun by helping Moms through Potty Training Parties.

 

Pull-Ups

 

 

They provided me with the basic supplies for a great Pull-Ups party!  They gave us potty training progress charts, stickers, party hats, and party noisemakers.  Oh, and of course Pull-Ups…which we used as prizes for the games.  Super fun!   They even had the perfect gift to give the moms and dads – Pull-Ups coupons!

 

Pull-Ups Party Hat

My little sweetheart didn’t like her hat…in combination with everything else going on.  After we removed it, she calmed back down and enjoyed the fun.  She couldn’t quite get the hang of the noise blower but she enjoyed watching everyone else play with them.

 

 

Pull-Ups Coloring

 

We had “First Flush Celebration” color sheets for the kiddos to play with and I couldn’t believe my little girl’s sheet.  I’ve never tried to teach her to color in the lines because I figured she was too young but look closely, she did it on her own!  Of course, she scribbled all over the rest of the paper but she colored inside of two shapes without going outside.  I am proud!

 

 

Minnie Mouse Pull-Ups

 

These new Pull-Ups are ridiculously adorable. I’m talking serious cuteness!  You know I have a small, or maybe medium-sized obsession with Minnie Mouse?  Well, these diapers feature Minnie Mouse in the cutest way possible.  Because I don’t want to show you a picture of my kid’s bum, take a look at the back of the diaper package to see for yourself.  Super duper cute, right?  Well, not only are these Pull-Ups fashionable but they also have a neat feature.  The images disappear when they become wet {called Learning Design Pull-Ups}!  What a great extra method to help kids remember to go to the potty.  Pull-Ups also has a heavy overnight version and Pull-ups that get cool when they’re wet.  What will they think of next?

 

Pull-Ups Pants

 

 

Potty training is HARD work because each kid is different and as Huggies says, “Because no two kids train alike!”  What worked for one kid might not work for your next and what works for your best friend’s kids might not work for either of yours.  These differences make it ever so important for moms to communicate with each other about what worked and didn’t work for them.  That way, instead of beating your head against the wall when one technique doesn’t work you can just try another one.  Plus, Huggies has an awesome Pull-Ups Big Kid app to help those kiddos who are just starting or in the process of potty training!  The Big Kid App is packed full of tips, tools, games and more to help us celebrate every milestone with our Big Kids.  If you have a potty training tot you might want to download the app for your little one.

I’m A Pull-Ups “First Flush” Ambassador!

My Daughter

 

I’m super excited to be participating in the Pull-Ups First Flush Ambassador Program. I’m grateful for this opportunity because we are just beginning the Potty Training phase with my toddler.  When I say beginning, I really mean thinking about.  Thinking about it and reading book after book!

 

I’m glad to be apart of this program for many reasons but one of the biggest is that I get to host a “Why Wait?  Let’s Celebrate – First Flush” party with my friends.  I’m eager to gather them all together, feed them, play games, and ask them a bazillion potty training questions that I have. By the way, if you’re interested in holding a “First Flush” party with your friends you can find more information on First Flush section of Pull-Up’s Facebook page.

 

Just a few of my questions are:

  • Is a potty chair really a necessity? {They disgust me!}
  • If so, what are things to look for in a potty chair?
  • What are some things you wish you knew before you started potty training?
  • Toilet paper or wet wipes?
  • Are flushable wipes really flushable?
  • How do you reward them? {I’ve read about candy, dances, hugs, etc.}
  • How long did it take your kids to be potty trained? {Both all day and all night}

 

My biggest question is, how do you know when they are ready?  As I’ve said before, I have read and read about potty training but none of the answers have satisfied me on knowing when to start.  Whether a mom started at 6 months or 3 years, everyone says, “When they are ready.”  For crying out loud, HOW CAN YOU KNOW THAT?  Some books say when kids take an interest in underwear.  I haven’t even bought underwear yet for her to be interested in.  But if I do, does carrying it around or putting it on her head show interest?  I’ve read about how starting too early can be damaging to the child physically and emotionally so I guess that’s why I’m so worked up about when to start.  I just need to get surrounded by real moms who have been in my shoes recently and can say, “It’s fine.  If you try and she doesn’t seem interested it’s okay to stop and try again later.  You won’t scar her for life.”  Sometimes only another mother can comfort the heart of a worrying mom, don’t you agree?

 

I’m very excited to become a Pull-Ups “First Flush” Ambassador and I hope you’ll follow me along on this journey.  Don’t worry, no indecent pictures will be shown, just stories about the ups and downs {haha!  Get it? Pull-Ups} of potty training.
