You know you're somebody's mama when you...

...have an iGo Potty app on your smartphone. Look, don't judge me. My daughter is 2 and a half and I am past tired of buying pull-ups. Me and my husband had a ritual at one point. We would declare in the store every time that this is the last time we are buying pull-ups. After about the fifth declaration, we just stopped saying it.

So, I was on the web reading an article about how to potty train a child in a week, and after I was finished rolling my eyes to the lies I was reading, I clicked on another article that gave the best potty training products. Of course there were books, (which my kids tore up), little pottys (that my kids play with), and a portable pot to keep in the back of the car (I'm good), but the one that I hadn't seen before was an app for my phone. They truly do have an app for just about everything.

It is supposed to be a timer, pretty much that will sing the "I'm a big kid now" jingle when it's time for her to go potty. Then, when she goes, she gets cute little "stickers" that add up to unlock games for her to play. It's a virtual version of the potty chart I had for my son with stickers and a prize at the end. I didn't really keep up with that much, but something miraculous happened. It's called my grandma.

So I have already been through this once with a boy. They are supposed to be harder to train then girls, but she is not a typical girl. I've never seen a little girl grab her baby doll, as she's dressed up as a princess,  jump off the arm of my couch, pin down her baby doll, count to three, then stand up pumping her fists in the air like she just won the wrestling championship.

Anyway, I'm going to give it the old college try with potty training app and see what happens. If this thing works, I'll shout it from the virtual mountain top via Facebook and this blog. If not, than I guess I'll have to go back to square one.

How long did it take you to potty train your child? Any tips?
