Hard to believe that I am actually writing about this in public (what has become of my life of world travel and cutting edge adventures?) but the dreaded potty training period has come crashing into my life and I am rolling with the punches, as I find most of my parenting experiences require.
I knew it was time to buy the potty, but I refused to bow down to Elmo or Dora or even to Hello Kitty (who I secretly love.) Instead, I went onto diapers.com to pick up one of the simple white numbers by baby bjorn. But then, something drove me to scroll down through the over 100 options in the “potties” section and lo, buried on the fourth page, is the above pictured, dare I say attractive, little training toilet by Hoppop. I gasped, and then ordered one up right away.

There is really no reason why items such as these must be flashy and ugly. I mean, it’s my bathroom too. And in fact, as I continue on my way both as a mother and a blogger, I will be passing on whatever well designed and thought out things I can find to you all. Which will hopefully encourage, in some small way, more creative people to respect the taste of our kids and design things for them that are, well, nice, for lack of a more polite word. And if it can be done at a reasonable price point, so much the better.
Because we’ve got to start somewhere…
