Sit Down and Stay Awhile

The Potty Caddy

You’ve tried reasoning, bribery, and prizes, but your tot is just not going on the pot.

Before you reconcile yourself to a long life of diapers, pick up the Potty Caddy.

This box of goodies contains a humorous children’s book that addresses kids’ concerns, such as the fear of falling in the toilet and where the poop goes. There’s also 100 toilet targets, stickers, a potty chart, tips from a pediatrician, and a roll of TP on a refillable holder just for him.

Next thing you know, you’ll be pounding on the bathroom door, telling little Timmy that time is up.

Available at Curious George Books & Toys, 1 JFK Street, Cambridge (617-498-0062 or curiousg.com).
