As far as toddler milestones go, potty training is up there as one of the biggies. While every family has their own method of transitioning little kids to the toilet, we couldn't help but notice while perusing Pinterest that "potty parties" are increasing in popularity. We're not just talking a wrapped copy of Everyone Poops or some big-kid undies, either — many moms are going all out and hosting elaborate, photo-friendly bashes. Ridiculous? Maybe. But we couldn't stop looking!
