Having been through potty training twice already, I came across the Potty Bench by Boon, Inc. with mild amusement. This potty bench looks hip with its cool colors and sleek design. Not only does it boast "two enclosed side storage spaces for organizing potty training supplies, and a pull-out drawer for easy sanitary clean-up," but it also has a "built-in toilet paper holder and a removable soft deflector shield." Close the lid and it becomes a stool that supports up to 300 pounds.

I've never been a proponent of little potties. Sure it may seem fun at first for a kid to have her own pint-sized throne, but isn't learning to then sit on the "real" potty just an unnecessary transition? Why make twice the work for yourself? I preferred to sit my kids right up on the pot with the help of a cushy seat that sits pertly on top.

Also, the clean-up of the potty chair sounds too gross. I have enough experience with my own kids' messes on the lid and seat to know that all the small crevices, the drawer, and the toilet paper holder of the Potty bench would get pretty yucky. No thanks.

Like, while we're in the bathroom dude, check out this awesome surfer step stool. It's the perfect stool for kids because it fits right around the potty. I hear they are super sturdy and I like how they are small and compact so they won't get in the way, especially in smaller bathrooms. They are made in California, of course, by High Head Creations. Your small surfer can now Hang Ten while brushing or Nose Ride while taking aim.

No one's leaving this bathroom until we wash hands, everyone, so check out Soap On A Roll that dispenses just like scotch tape. Hey, if you need a gimmick for the kids to wash up, this just may be what you need. Actually, I wouldn't mind trying it myself. Grown-ups can have fun too!

According to the product description, this soap does away with melting bars of soap and dripping liquid dispensers. Simply roll out a piece, tear it off, and wash under running water. The vegetable-base soap dissolves immediately and leaves your hands smelling like jasmine or the ocean. Not only does it smell great, it'll last a long time. Each dispenser holds 59 feet per roll!

Tell your kids that each strip is like their own new bar of soap. They'll be sudsing up in no time.
