Bye Bye, Diaper! Matteo's Potty Training Story for Boys: The Potty Training Book for Toddlers | A Montessori-Inspired Book for Boys

Most potty training books for boys use cartoon characters. Bye-Bye, Diaper! Matteo’s Potty Learning Story uses lifelike, scene-based imagery to help toddlers see what using the potty can really look like.

Meet Matteo. He is learning to use the potty, just like your little boy. Follow him through the whole potty training journey: switching from diapers to underwear, noticing his body’s signals, trying the potty, having an accident, cleaning up calmly, trying again, and finally feeling proud of his success.

This is a realistic potty training book for boys that shows a young child navigating potty learning in a familiar, everyday setting. With true-to-life imagery, simple language, and a gentle story, children can connect Matteo’s experience to their own routine.

A calm potty training story for toddlers

Matteo is ready to say goodbye to diapers and try big-boy underwear. He begins to notice “the tingle” that tells him he may need to go potty. At first, he tries and nothing happens. Later, the feeling returns quickly, and he has an accident before making it to the potty.

Mom responds calmly and without shame. Together, they clean up and remember that accidents are part of learning. Matteo tries again. This time, he makes it to the potty—and feels proud of what his body is learning to do.
