Where's the Poop?

I unknowingly gave my 11 month old daughter some double fiber bread this morning from my own breakfast.  She was very happy to get it and made a big deal of eating it after getting it good and slobbery.  After I finished my breakfast I realized what I had done and started to wonder if I made a mistake (probably).  We are probably still a year away from actual potty training, but like most activities involving children, it is usually good to give them lots of warning ahead of time.  In fact, just about everything around here is preceded by a countdown, it's like NASA or something: "Five minutes before we leave for school!"  and "You've got fifteen seconds to put that diaper back on your sister or else!" are good representative samples.  There's no reason that potty training shouldn't also be foreshadowed as well.

Where's the Poop? is a great little book for a 1-2 year old before you start potty training that helps them understand not only that everyone poops (the title of another popular poop book) but that there is a place for everyone's poop to go.  You get to look at various animals and see where they poop (Tigers in the jungle, Kangaroos in the outback, etc...) by lifting a little flap to see the "prize".  The last page of the book is a little boy telling his mommy that he pooped and beneath the flap is a potty.  A great idea for a book, not only are you teaching your kid that it is normal to poop, but that there is a specific place that it is supposed to go, as opposed to whenever and wherever he feels like it.  No longer will you have to wonder if that double fiber bread was a bad idea.  Eligible for free shipping at Amazon.com
