Potty Training x2, OH MY!!!!


When it came to potty training Harmon was the bomb! We just bought some really cool Thomas the Train underwear, training Pull Ups, and a special box of candy for him. I also downloaded an app for my IPhone from Pull Ups and played the Potty Dance video on DVD every morning. Well after a couple of week Harm decided he wanted to Potty Train. He only had a minor pee incident in the Pull Ups a couple of times but he just totally did it all. When it came time to wanting the underwear he decided on his own and only had one accident. It was nice b/c we bribed him but he did all the work. I never dealt with pee or poop anywhere which was nice b/c I'm not a pee or poop type of person.


The problem is we can't wait for the twins like we waited for Harm. THEY HAVE TO BE 100% Potty Trained before they start school right on their 3 yr birthday. Harm didn't potty train till after age 3. This is daunting to me b/c I don't like the idea of pushing it. I don't want to deal with pee and poop everywhere. But Miriam swears she is leaving us at the end of August and if they are not potty trained they can not attend the AMAZING new pre-school I found for them. One way or another we need some potty training boot camp. We are thinking about the 3 day method... I'm not excited but if it is what has to be done!


The good Friday Rachel changed her own diaper in the morning while I was in the shower. She almost had herself fully dressed with clean diaper but she needed help with her button and her tights. (She also did her own hair obviously). So hopefully she is ready to start and than I'll probably do Callum later... Hopefully this will go well and won't be too nasty!

  1. I was done with diapers. Glory! Then we had another kid. And now we are having yet another.

    Oh, I shudder at the thought of the tens of thousands of dollars that we must have spent on Pampers and Luvs thus far!

  2. Congrats PTO!!! BTW how was all that Christmas traveling. I better have lots more money when we finally potty train these twins. I've been diapering non-stop for four years :p Momma needs a break!
