Small children do exactly three things – eat, sleep and wail. That is, when they're not relieving themselves wherever they want like incontinent animals. Since you can't outfit the kid with an electronic collar that'll teach it to piss and poo in the pot (silly laws!), you have to train the little bugger – which can be a nightmare in itself. To make life easier, the people at Baby Signs have created a potty training kit that makes go time interactive, easy and – you can be the judge of this – fun. The kit comes with a parents' guide, the "All Aboard the Potty Train" DVD, All About the Potty Train board book and conductor's whistle, and Job Well Done! stickers. Hooray for stickers! Just wash your hands before you start doling those out, OK? $39.95 http://www.pottytrainwithbabysigns.com
