During the recent sales at Toys ‘R’ Us where they had a lot of items you buy 2 get 3rd free. The promotion includes a lot of toys such as Fisher Price, Legos, books, and more. We wanted to get the Lego sets but we couldn’t find 3 sets to buy. There were only two sets we were interested. So we didn’t get the Lego. But instead we bought the Elmo’s DVDs.

I find that my son learns a lot from the TV. I am trying to buy more educational DVDs so he will learn while watching them. As many of you might have known, I am having a hard time to fully potty train him. At this time, he is doing well but still wets his underwear once a while. The worse is that he doesn’t want to go potty and everytime we ask him if he needs to go, his reply is, “NO!”. I want him to learn to go potty himself. For now, he still needs my help to pull his pants and put it back on for him. If he doesn’t learn to do it himself, I will not be able to send him to Pre-school as they only enroll potty-trained kids.

And since at Toys ‘R’ Us was having sales, I got him Elmo’s Potty Training DVDs. Elmo is one of his favorite characters. Along with this DVD, I also got the Elmo Visits to the Doctor and Guess That Shapes and Colors. Each was priced at $11.99 plus sales tax. It is only slightly cheaper than Target with their promotion of ‘Buy two free one’. Without the promotion, I would get it at Target for $9.99 plus sales tax each.

The latter two are still in shrink wrapped. We opened Elmo’s Potty Training for him to watch. He watches it sometimes. Will it help? I will see how his progress in this area after a month or so. I read a lot of good reviews on this DVD on Amazon. So I really hope it will help.
