It has been so much fun working with Ezra on getting him familiar with Potty Training. Don’t get me wrong there have been some tears but there have also been some celebrations as well! Being a part of the Madrinas del Baño has been such an amazing experience and I’m so excited to bring you the Huggies Pull Ups Prize Pack Giveaway in this post. If you recall, I was able to be a part of a great informative teleconference with Dr. Cotton & Latina social Media Maven extraordinaire Jeannette Kaplun and get more insight on potty training our children. As Latinas it’s great to get to learn what our fellow Latinas from other backgrounds also go thru during potty training. It’s a universal pain LOL!
As part of the Madrina del Bano campaign we received a fabulous pack of following Huggies Pull Ups products:
- Pull-Ups training pants
- Huggies Pull-Ups Flushable wipes
- Disney softee toilet seat
As you can see in the picture below Ezra was very excited to see Mickey on a potty seat!
The Pull-Ups were very exciting for Ezra. I think he really prefers stepping into “McQueen” (that’s what he calls them!) underwear verses diapers now. He knows where I keep them and he goes and gets me one when he goes in them and misses the potty. Using the Huggies Pull-Ups Flushable wipes was a very easy transition for him since he’s used to getting wiped with wet wipes. A huge plus is that they are flushable! Oh Yeah! Must I even gush about the Disney themed potty seat? He loves watching Mickey Mouse so when I tell him “Lets go potty with Mickey!” He gets all excited and sometimes he goes and sometimes he doesn’t. But the fabulous part is that he’s being exposed to the idea of potty training and I’m very happy with his progress.
When we first started the campaign he couldn’t see “pee-pee” or “poo-poo“. Now I’m proud to say that he can say it a little bit. Still hasn’t grasped the idea that is what we are calling the “act” but he’ll get it soon enough. He’s a smart little toot and I am definitely being patient.
Here are a few key messages that really have stayed with me as we continue trying to potty train:
- Pull-Ups is motivating Moms to stick with Potty Training. –Don’t give up, if you do your child will too! – So true! Don’t quit Mamas!
- Every try deserves a little celebration. –As you can see in the pic below, he truly enjoys the celebration part!
- Use Resources: Download helpful tools and resources such as the Pull-Ups Big Kid App which helps parents with potty training *My 6 year old told me tonight, “Mom can I check out the Pull-Ups app on your phone to show brother!” –Yay! Love it when everyone is on board!
Speaking of the app have you downloaded it on your smart phone? It’s available for free in the iTunes store. I am an iPhone user and the download was quick and easy. After download at the inital start you have the option to select the language you prefer- I chose English. You have the choices of English, Spanish or French! Je parle un peu de Francais (I can speak a little French) but not enough to potty train my boy. I’ll be looking at it as well. Gotta love being multi-lingual!
The app features so many very cute games, songs and how can I not mention the 3D Celebration! It’s completely amazing and Ezra loves it. I love the timer it helps keep us on task for potty training. We’ve had some misses and we have had some successes too. It’s a great tool! There is also an amazing feature called the Get a Disney Call. My oldest son loves having me set up calls! They are too cute.
By far the best part of the Pull-Ups Big Kid app is the Pull-Ups Community tab. You can connect with fellow moms on Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and you can also sign up to receive the latest news and offers from the Pull-Ups website. Pretty awesome. Pull-Ups thought of everything- as a mom of a potty trainer in progress my verdict? LOVE IT!

Yadira Juarez says
I’m trying to PT my little one too & it’s challenging!
Candy says
Just be patient. In the end he will decide when he’s good and ready.. Aramis didn’t pt until he was 3!! :/ LOL Good Luck!!
Cassandra Eastman says
Patience! I felt so rushed with my son, because everyone said he should have been potty trained sooner but now on my second I realize he did great, and i’m not going to rush my daughter because of peer pressure from everyone else!
Candy says
Absolutely. I am def taking my time with my 2nd child. Good Luck!
Dawn Ganey says
I would set a cooking timer every 30 minutes & put my daughter on the potty, she mastered it in no time.
Candy says
Wow that’s awesome Dawn! Sounds like a smart little girl! 🙂
Good Luck on the giveaway!
Cheryl Rahkonen says
I have 8 children and really never potty trained any of them. I know that sounds terrible, but they always followed me into the bathroom and there was a potty chair in the bathroom at all times. If they wanted to sit on it okay and if not I didn’t force them to sit on it. All of them were completely potty trained by 2 years old and very seldom had accidents. I guess my best advice would be to not stress over potty training and the child will let you know when he is ready for that next step.
Candy says
Wow Cheryl that’s pretty fantastic! Good luck on the giveaway!
casey everidge says
i constantly ask if they have to go potty! accidents always happen while they are playing and distracted!
Candy says
I completely agree Casey! You should check out the Pull-Ups app it’s got a timer! Pretty awesome! Good Luck!
Kathie Craig says
They say that boys are harder to train than girls. I believe it. I have made several attempts with my, whom is three now, and let’s just say it was messy.
Candy says
My only experience is with boys! LOL I think we are on their time in all honesty.. My oldest decided when he was ready. I’m just hoping the youngest will decide sooner! LOL Good Luck w/the giveaway and training!
darleneysaguirre says
Were Potty training my daughter right now and its hit and miss days sometimes she really wants to use the bathroom all day consistently or not at all…We just act overally excited and lots of words of encouragement.
Candy says
Way to stay excited and motivated for her Darlene! Good Luck!
Kelly D says
My tip is to try to train when the child is ready and don’t push them to much.
Candy says
Great tip Kelly! Good Luck!
Amanda Hoffman says
being patient and use rewards like stickers
Candy says
Great tip Amanda! Good Luck!
mummytotwoboys says
My best tip is be patient, I tried training my son as soon as he turned two and it was a dreadful disaster because he was just not ready.
priscillavbenavides says
Offer a small reward for using the restroom each time! My mother in law potty trained our oldest son by giving him a penny for every time he used the potty, he was small so that was a big deal to him at that time and he even saved up a good amount of money!

June Lisle says
For boys, a few of my friends would put cheerios in the toilet and tell their boys to aim at them.
Jessica says
My best tip is to make sure to put them in pants that come on and off easily

I ask all throughout the day if she needs to go to the potty.
thepaperplume says
I’m a newbie at this but the best advice I’ve heard is wait until they are really ready!
Heather says
Don’t push it! Let it happen as it does. If you make it too stressful, your kid will enver want to!
