For the most part I'...Thanks for reading, guys. For the most part I'm a "whatever works" kind of dad. Heck, we were rewarding our son with salami when he would have a successful tinkle. (That was his reward of choice, not our mixing up the "dog training" and "potty training" books). I guess its just part of my struggle with technology, and how much it can invade every aspect of our lives. Maybe I'm wrong.

Now, THEY had better things to do than sit around, so they quickly tried to jump off and run around some more, maybe even pee on the floor just for fun. To keep them sitting there, I told them stories, I read them books, and I even let them borrow my phone so they could look at family pictures.<br /><br />That last one kept them there entertained for a long time, and the only problem was that I was really scared of them dropping my phone in the toilet. <br /><br />Which is why I understand this device. I don't think it's necessary, and I agree that it preys on parents' frustrations, but so do "Elmo's Potty Time" and pull-up diapers, no?Orenhttp://www.bloggerfather.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6464656546253078118.post-78748653112629969182013-11-26T20:25:44.984-05:002013-11-26T20:25:44.984-05:00Who the hell thought of this?
