Potty training
Friday, 2 February, 2024

Oh, dear lord. Ok: if you are embarking on potty training with your toddler, the first thing we need you to know is that it is going to be ok. The second thing we need you to know is to BUCKLE UP. This was one of the toughest phases/transitions of parenthood for us so far, and if you're a long time listener of this podcast, you know we don't say that lightly. In this episode, we share details about the techniques we used (yes, we did resort in the end to bribery with fruit snacks, as everyone does, and our only regret is not doing that sooner), horror stories about public accidents, and we finally answer the question that's on everyone's mind: will Erik get another motorcycle if we have a second child??? (Oh Crap! is the book we used / apparently the one everyone with a toddler has read and used. Highly recommended.)
