- Pull-Ups has done some research on how personality types effect potty training.

- When you’re out and about and your child says something hilarious, launch the app QuoteMeTots to capture the moment. A simple interface allows you to log a photo, a quote, and the date. It generates a clear, shareable image that you can post on social media — or simply scroll through all your quotes as you accumulate them.
