There was a little one who was growing so fast that the diapers were starting to feel too small.
One day, a shiny potty appeared in the bathroom — just the right size, just for them.
At first it felt new and strange. But they tried sitting, and waiting, and one day — splash! — they did it, all by themselves.
The whole family did a little happy wiggle. "You're growing up!" they cheered.
It didn't work every time, and that was okay — every big kid practices. But each night the little one felt a tiny bit prouder, a tiny bit bigger.
Tonight, they washed their hands, smiled, and climbed into bed a little more grown-up than yesterday. Goodnight.
How to tell a calming learning to use the potty bedtime story

- •Celebrate the small win with a low-key 'happy wiggle,' not over-the-top excitement at bedtime.
- •Tie the skill to 'growing up,' which most toddlers are proud of.
