Crib Notes: End of January Sale on DaVinci's Emily Crib
Happy Crib Season!
For those of you who don't know, it's crib season!!
Here's a great, limited time deal from DaVinci:
From now until January 31, purchase the Emily Crib in Ebony Black from CSN Baby for just $239--$40 less than the regular retail price!
The Emily 4-in-1 Convertible Crib is designed and built to last! It's convertible so it can convert from a crib to a toddler bed or daybed with the toddler bed conversion kit that's included. Then purchase the Wooden Bed Rails to convert it into a a full sized bed. The classic, simple design ensures that it will never go out of style. It's very possible that this crib will one day be the bed your child sleeps in until he goes to college!
And can I just point out that the Ebony Black finish and simple design make this crib look MUCH more expensive that it actually is? Bonus! Dress it up to look sleek and modern, cute and country (pictured), or however you like.
The mattress spring system adjusts to four different levels, allowing the crib to last through your infant's growth. It's made of New Zealand Radiata Pine Wood and comes ready to assemble. Plus I did a little eco research and I'm happy to report that DaVinci's pine wood originates from forests maintained by managers that enforce environmental responsibility and the conservation of forest wildlife.
Check back often for more crib notes and crib deals! Happy Friday!

Potty Training for Boys
So continuing with our potty training theme from last week, I thought I'd focus on little boys. Maybe you have a hunch that your little boy and Potty Scotty just aren't going to hit it off. So, what else is out there?
Well, maybe you should introduce him to Peter Potty instead. (No, I don't think that Peter and Scotty are related.)
Peter Potty is a child-sized urinal for your home. It even flushes--no plumbing required! The urinal is height adjustable so it can grow with your child and you can even mount it to the wall once he's outgrown the height settings.
The great thing about the Peter Potty is that you can teach your son how to stand from the beginning. Plus it'll make him feel like a "big boy" while he's learning. One of the few complaints I've heard about this product is that toddlers are sometimes a little too enthusiastic about flushing the urinal. If this is a problem, however, you can always leave the water reservoir empty. Just be sure to check it regularly so you can keep it clean!
Need help? Peter Potty has tips for how to potty train using their product here. Just ignore the part that says, "Your little guy will feel cool standing like his daddy, not sitting like a girl." Just what are you trying to say, Peter Potty??

Can A Doll Help with Potty Training?
How much would you be willing to pay if it only took 1 day--1 single day--to toilet train your child? $50? $65?
Be honest.
Maybe even $100?
If you're nodding your head right now then maybe you need Mom Innovations' Potty Patty or Potty Scotty to help you out!
Potty Patty and Potty Scotty are dolls designed to teach your child how to use the bathroom. The Complete System (re: most expensive)includes a potty training doll, 3 "big kid" doll potty training pants, 2 Bottles to feed your Potty doll, Potty Training in One Day - The Parent's Potty Training Guide, Potty Training in One Day - A DVD for Today's Parents, 6 specially designed Potty Training Pants for your child, the Little Potty Chair , and the Toilet Potty Seat.
The book walks you through the potty training process and the DVD gives a "visual tour of real moms potty training their children." The dolls are anatomically correct and can drink and wet on demand.
This is the part where I start to crinkle my nose and possibly throw in an eye roll or two for good measure.
But then I remembered what happened when my parents were potty training my twin sister and me, and my sister discovered the innate talent to go for inhuman lengths of time without using the bathroom. And so then I thought, huh. Mom Innovations might be on to something here.
I mean, if there was any chance of successfully potty training your child in a day--hey, how 'bout a week, even--wouldn't you give it a try?

Beautiful New High Chair from PALI
I've fallen in love with a new high chair. It's the Pappy Re High Chair from PALI.
I love that it treads the line between modern and traditional high chair design. The streamlined style and light wood construction are definitely modern, yet the rounded shape and generous food tray (sold separately) give it a more traditional look.
Use the food tray at feeding time or pull the high chair right up to the table. A simple, cute teddy bear cutout makes it easy to pick the chair up and move it as needed.You can also adjust the foodrest to ensure the perfect fit as baby grows.
Basically you can have a more traditional high chair that still looks modern and sophisticated. And with 6 finishes to choose from (Natural/Lime, Natural/Pumpkin, Liquorice, Natural/Berry, Natural/Sunflower and White) you're sure to find the one that's just right for your home. That's the kind of compromise I like!
