Potty Training Twins
My boys are 2yrs 7 months and showing all the typical signs of potty training. However, this is my first go around at this entire thing and I'm very apprehensive and naive on the best way to go about it, especially with two at the same time! We have a training toilet and a seat that fits on the large toilet and the boys are very open to sitting on both. We've done all the "prerequisites" (having them observe my husband and I when we use the bathroom, read books, not pushing them to use it, bought underwear, etc.) I am a teacher and on summer break so I can actively pursue a non-diaper life! Yahoooo! How do I begin to do this continuously? I feel clueless even after reading up on it!
Re: Potty Training Twins
There are tons of books out there but I don't think you necessarily have to do both at the same time if that's what you're worried about. I actually think my daughter will be fully trained before my son because he just isn't as into it yet. With all of the other "stages", I did a lot of talking about it beforehand: "Okay, tomorrow no more bottles." "This is our last night with our bunnies." Things like that... I think if you just buy one last box of diapers and say "when all of these run out, we are switching to underwear! Aren't you excited?! You're going to be such a big kid! Grandma/Aunt/Person will be so proud of you!!!...." Then go for it! Don't look back and don't feel like a mess or an accident is a failure. It's all learning. You can do this, mama!! Good luck!
