It was a couple of weeks ago but we were having problems with the boys and their potty issues. In other words my kids learned how to disrobe and play in their fecal matter. They like to smear it on anything and everything including themselves. So we thought it should be time to start potty training.
We went out and got a potty seat and a step stool. We already had a singing potty seat that someone had given us. They seemed very interested in trying to use the bathroom. But teaching twins to go to the potty is not an easy task. I felt like I was (Meredith) in the bathroom with them all the time. Every 30 minutes then sitting in there for at least 5 to make sure they didnt have to go was starting to wear on me. So I thought that Brian should try with them since he is their dad and has the same parts and they have seen him go to the bathroom. They seemed to do great with Brian.
Then Aidan got some type of bug, Brian got the flu, I got food poisoning and the holidays were just a week away. So we have stopped the training but they know when they have gone in their diaper and will let know right away. I think that is a good sign but they still dont know ahead of time that they need to go in the bathroom.
This is a long process but I am determined to get them most of the way there before their birthday in February.
Oh girl. Good luck! My boys were interesting with the potty training. Gabe was a breeze, Justin was a pain and Benjamin was difficult. All of them were closer to 3 when they were potty trained. I know how frustrating the "poo-poo Picasso" can be, but have faith that this too shall pass! I have a girlfriend in GA who has a little boy who will be 5 in February, twins that turned 3 in November and twins that turned 1 in October. Her website is:

I hope that the potty training gets back on track. Just remember to take it one day at a time. :)
