After talking about it all day for the past few days I finally admitted to myself that it was time for the twins to start potty learning.
Actually, its been time for awhile.
They have both been talking about poop, pee and potty for a long time. Showing interest in Alex and I using the bathroom and announcing when they needed to go/had already gone.
Honestly, it was ME that wasn’t ready.
Yesterday I decided that it was finally time and I set out to Babies R Us for some potties and “training” pants.
I came back with two of these:
They seem to be well-reviewed and the girls are able to get on/off of them easily.
I also ended up with Pull-Ups…though I’m not sure why. I wanted cloth “trainers” but the BBRU in the middle-of-nowhere (where I currently reside) does not carry such new-fangled items.
And Yo Gabba Gabba undies.
The girls have not gotten to wear them yet though – they are going to have to earn them. By peeing (and pooping) in the potties consistently.
For part of yesterday and all of today (except nap time when they wore Pull-Ups) they have been sans clothing from the waist down. We prompt them every so often (we really need to get a timer) to go and sit on the potty.
No one did anything yesterday, unless you count Evelynn peeing all over Alex’s work chair.
But today Lennon peed on the potty as soon as she got up this morning. Then she peed again (just a few drops). Then Evy peed on the floor. And then Evy peed a few drops on the toilet.
Over all, I am very impressed. I thought it would take days for them to pee in the potty at all. I think I’ve really been holding them back and they’ve been ready for quite some time now.
Goodbye babies. Hello little girls.
