Potty in the Backyard!

Happy July! I can't believe it's summer...happy dance! To celebrate we're bringing back our Sign of the Week posters and, because we know you'll be outside a lot this month, we're talking "potty training"!

Why does being outside in the summer remind me personally about "potty training"? Well, it was around this time that I could let my August born older toddler run around in our backyard without a diaper on (he's 12 years old now so I've promised him that no photos of him will be posted here!)

Over the course of the next few week's we'll be asking you questions about potty training in your family, answering some of your questions as well, talking about getting started, potty training basics and more! Of course, we'll be sharing ASL signs that you can use!
