Going potty. There's an app for that.
From a piece in the Los Angeles Times...
Frankel's original book comes in separate editions for each gender and the app does too. The girl version tells the tale of Prudence, who has been going "wee-wee" and "poo-poo" in her diaper since she was 2 days old. The boy version is the story of Joshua, who has been doing the same thing, but with different anatomy. Both children get a potty as a present from grandma, and after trying to figure out what it is (a flower pot? a hat? a milk jug for the cat?) they begin to learn how to use the potty themselves.
This morning my nearly potty-trained son (still wearing pull-ups at bedtime) and I swiped our way through the "Once Upon a Potty: Boy" app on the iPad. We had the story read itself to us in the admirably sedate voice of Joshua's mother, and then we listened to the unexpectedly jazzy potty song.
