Potty Training Perks
It started out simply enough: a circular target shape
As an aid to my son's potty training, I made "targets" for him to aim at. I'd heard various suggestions for what to use: Cheerios seemed to send a mixed message about places appropriate for food products; Piddlers Toilet Targets seemed like overkill, and at $3.99 for a box of 20, would have cut into his winter clothing fund. (Conservatively, let's say we used six per day. That's over $200 for six months.) Instead, I drew on toilet paper with a felt-tip marker.
It started out simply enough: a circular target shape. As time went on, however, and I needed to keep my son's interest, I started doing smiley faces, hearts, and stars. My son got into the spirit of things and started making requests: trains, fire trucks, rocket ships. I was pushing the boundaries of the medium and my talent, but found I could do quite a lot with basic shapes and stick figures.
