Please join us in a poopendous adventure from diaper to potty chair.


Sponsored by Pinwheel Books, Magic Beans, Fisher Price and other fabulous outlets,  Potty Palooza (#pottypalooza) will focus on two of our favorite subjects: diapering and potty training!


Featuring:



  • Jamie the Baby Guy (http://www.thebabyguynyc.com/) who will showcase the best diapering and potty training products for the busy mom.

  • Kathryn Roberts, Pain and Incontinence Program Coordinator at Children's Hospital, who will talk about the hospital's Toilet Training School.

  • Salina Gonzales Frazier, CEO of Diaper Lab, on how cloth diapers have come a long way and why they are a great option for today’s mom.

  • Kate Hayes, author of All About Poop, on why it’s important to talk to our kids about poop.

  • Jason Lindsey, a.k.a. “Mr. Science” from Hooked on Science (www.hookedonscience.org), via Skype, on how poop shouldn’t just be a funny word to your kids, and how it’s a great tool to introduce them to the science of digestion.

  • Keri Steckler, local mom and founder of Tick Tock LLC, and inventor of the Potty Time Stickers and Chart (on sale at CVS), on how rewards can be used to help with potty training.

  • A preview of All About Poop's animated iPad app (so get ready for some funny noises!).

  • Lots of great potty-training products to check out.

  • Awesome giveaways from our sponsors!

@MCG - I appreciate how you perceived the situation and I apologize if that was in fact the case.Read More Like I said I was not privy to the exact conversation. However at the time it wasn't explained like that to me so I was unaware and handled it as I interpreted it. My apologies if I was mistaken.

@Debbie L. Actually the police have not been to the pub in a long time. The last time they wereRead More there was because I called them because a man who was intoxicated (which we didn't serve because he is barred) came in and refused to leave. And I don't ever recall seeing the fire department there. But to blame it on the Pub is a misconception because even if you closed the pub there are half a dozen other bars on the blvd that everyone would then frequent. While Bob Dobbs recommendation of reinstating prohibition might sound like a good idea good luck with that. Prohibition didn't prevent drinking in the 20's and it wouldn't stop it now either. Ultimately we can not make everyone happy but we do our best to run a safe and friendly establishment. And I make it my personal mission to prevent any and all fights. Since I've been the door man (almost 6 months) we have only had 1 fight in the bar which was quickly broken up. We are not perfect. Nor is any other bar. But we constantly strive to make improvements. We are a community pub. We love our community and everyone in it.

i should say that out of the handful of bars in the vicinity, i prefer the brookline pub if i'mRead More gonna go to a bar . i dont care for the younger kids that accumulate on saturday nights with that annoying ghetto music but the food specials are decent and they do stock a decent selection of beers . i find zippy's to be much more clique-y and narrow-minded .

@Daria. My description is 100% accurate. Yes, the bouncer quickly handled the situation by claimingRead More he witnessed "the whole thing". And he did. He witnessed my friends and I waiting to order a drink. That's all. Nothing more. Nothing less. The description is not harsh, it's actually toned down in comparison to what actually happened. The bouncer said, "I witnessed the whole thing and you were being a ****. One customer standing in line to order. One customer flicking another customer's hood and getting in his face. Which one was wrong? Apparently me since I don't go there frequently.

To everyone following this thread, I'm the doorman in question at the Brookline Pub. I've posted aRead More response to the original poster on Patch.com that can be found at the following address: http://dormont-brookline.patch.com/groups/opinion/p/in-response-to-the-post-brookline-pubhorrible-experience I implore everyone to read that response to hear my side of the story. Thank you.

But I reported on documented actions that happened within the community. Where is the violation?
Erin Faulk (Editor) June 5, 2013 at 05:54 pm
One was removed for personal attacks, another because it implied that there was corruption by aRead More specific person. Although you didn't name the person, it was implied. Since the corruption was never proven, I removed the comment. It's over. You're welcome to continue commenting as long as you follow the term of use.

Yeah I guess the public online court records showing someone pleading guilty is not proof
