Mom Approved: Ferdinand Uses the Potty

I have exciting news for you today. The little Prince is officially potty trained! 

The hardest part after initially getting him to use the potty has been night time. 

The Prince isn't fond of bedtime, so anything that leads up to it is a battle. 

But now, its not; Thanks to this book!

Ferdinand Uses The Potty is about a little yellow frog who wets the bed. Sadly, he is also afraid of the potty because it makes a horrible noise. Ferdinand has a really good friend, a little boy who tells him that the potty is nothing to be afraid of. Ferdinand thinks he can just not go potty, but soon learns that it is something we all have to do. Ferdinand faces his fear so that he doesn't make wet spots in the bed or on the floor. 

My little guy is only 22 months, so he doesn't really understand all that Ferdinand Uses The Potty is about, but he does know what the potty is and what it does. What I do is read him the story while he sits on his potty before bed. The really great part about this is that he loves being read to, so it excites him and he forgets it is almost bedtime. The Prince also loves animals, so seeing the happy yellow frog makes him so giddy, he just laughs all the way through it. 

The author, Jay Tucker, is a husband, father, and youth minister. He lives in Ft. Myers, Florida, with his family. He is the author of several books for adults and children; he is currently working on another book for adults, about youth ministry. 

Whether you are still working on potty training, have hit a snag in the process, or will be potty training in the future, I urge you to get a copy of this book. It will be a great addition to your children's library.
