We celebrate a child’s first words, first hair cut, first tooth, first steps. Why not the first flush?
A few weeks ago I held a party with some friends in honor of our babies becoming big kids. We’re all on this journey through potty training and with the help of Pull-Ups we wanted to celebrate our kid’s “first flush”. We’re throwing away (or storing away in my case since I cloth diaper) the diapers and taking out the Pull-Ups!
There was a ton of food, activities, laughter, and fun to be had but the important thing was to make sure our littles knew we were there for them! Potty training is a hard time for both big kid and parent so we hope this party helps the kids feel better about potty training and can look at it as a good thing, not scary.
We had a great turn out for the party, don’t you think? It was fun chatting with the other parents about how they are potty training, their tips and tricks, if they have mastered the potty training skills after already training an older sibling. Who am I kidding, it was just fun to talk to actual adults and not kids, no matter what the topic was – even if it was about pee and poop!
After some fun the kids took a break to color their First Flush celebration coloring sheets! We tapped them up on a a dedicated wall since each child ended up coloring 3-4 sheets. They loved seeing their works of art on display.
Of course we had to end the party with some cake!
I’m happy to report we are doing well with our potty training journey. Kendall has now decided that she wants to use the regular toilet, not her personal potty. We are letting her pick which one she uses which is really helping her train quicker. One reason we decided to train with Pull-Ups instead of using cloth diapers was the ease of being able to get the training pants on and off. It really helps that Kendall can get her Pull-Ups on and off with little or no help at all from me or Daddy.
We also like that each Pull-Ups training pants has a wetness indicator Learning Design on the front (the purple image for girls, blue for boys). The boy version is Cars theme so you will see “95″ for Lightening McQueen and the outline of the Piston Cup logo. As you can see, the girl pack has Cinderella and Minnie Mouse. Kendall loves to pick out which she is in the mood to wear. As far as the Learning Designs there is a princess crown, and a Minnie Mouse shape with bows inside. The purple (or blue for boys) image will disappear when the training pants are soiled. If the image is gone we’ll bring it to Kendall’s attention that she didn’t go to the potty and now the crown is gone.
You can find Pull-Ups pretty much every where you shop available in sizes 2T-3T, 3T-4T, and 4T-5T.

Disclosure: I participated in a campaign on behalf of Mom Central Consulting for Pull-Ups. I received product samples to facilitate my review and to host a party. I received a promotional item as a thank you for participating.

Yup sure did. She was in pull ups around Two but once she got to daycare and saw the big kids go potty she was all for it. Then we moved to underwear and in about 2 weeks she was fully potty trained. She is now 5 and hasn’t wet the bed since her Patty training days. For my 1 year I think it will take a lot longer.
We couldn’t have gotten through potty training without pull-ups!
no more butt sniffing lol although I think parents will do that out of habit anyway
This is such a cute idea.
This is such a great idea, make a party out of potty training to get them to enjoy it more.
How cute I love it. What a great idea.
What an awesome idea!! I am going to do this with my son.
Such a cute party idea! The cake is adorable!
Looks like a fun party!
That looks like such a fun party!
How cute to celebrate with a party!
Looks like the party was a success. So cute!
How fun! Being diaper free is definitely something to celebrate.
Oh my gosh what a cute party!!
Really great idea. I’ll have to keep this in mind and tell a friend or two about this too.
What an awesome idea!
How fun! This is a great idea!
Your party looks AWESOME and I agree, potty training is a great excuse for both toddlers and parents to celebrate.
What a great reason to party!!!!
What a fun party! My son decided to use the real potty too, it’s funny how different kids like different things even when it comes to potties!
Looks like a fun party!
Looks like you had a blast! I’m so glad my kids are out of diapers
What a fun idea looks like everyone had a great time and this is a great reason to throw a party. My son is almost ready to be out of Pull Ups
great party. looks like such a fun time.
What a cute party!! What better reason to celebrate than potty training??
We just have the same party, but wow, you really went all out! I love the cake, I love the decorations and it looks like everyone had a great time!
This is such a great idea!! Thankfully we are out of the potty training stage though so no party for us.
That’s a really cute idea. I understand that you really have to make them feel like they have done an amazing job by using the potty. This is a great way to show them how proud you are!
That is so cute! And totally why not??? It’s HUGE!!!
We had a fun time!
What a fun party! I LOVE that cake too!
Now that is a party! (and a reason to celebrate)
I never even thought to have a party when I was potty training.
What a fun party!
That’s so cute and fun!
I had a pull ups party years ago. It was so much fun!
Looks like fun! The cake is very cute
I LOVE it and what a great idea and party it looks like you had! So glad Kendall is doing so good too. For some reason, they do prefer the real potty instead of their own personal potties. My grandchildren did as well.
How fun! We’re going to give potty training a try next month when Sweet T turns 2 1/2.
I didn’t realize our girls were so close in age! Good luck w/ the training!!
what a cute little diaper party… love the pics!
That is just the cutest way to celebrate such a big change! Love it!
This is the cutest thing ever!! I think that potty training can be one of the most difficult things a toddler goes through, so it’s awesome to throw a party! It will help motivate the other kids too!
What a fun party!! Cute cake, too! That’s great she can get the pull up on and off with little help!
