Potty Trainers of the World Unite

As I'm sure all of you parents of toddlers can understand, the road to the diaper-free holy grail of potty training is a long and arduous one. Unlike most early childhood milestones (walking and talking come to mind) potty training is hard work! Persistence and a keen eye for body language are absolutely essential, and a lackadaisical attitude will certainly buy you an accident and an extra load of laundry. It's not easy, and although lately we've lately been celebrating a string of small victories, we've had plenty of setbacks along the way

So, to all you parents battling through the daily struggles of potty training (or a different challenge of toddler rearing for that matter...) stay strong!

And in the meantime, here is an unintentionally funny Japanese TV potty training video to lift your spirits. (hilarious subtitles included)

Enjoy.
