Potty Time

I am attempting to potty train the twinados. It's not going so well. So far, it has resulted in lots of puddles, laundry, nudity and profanity. Imagine it if you will....

Will: I want go potty

Me: Okay, let's go

(take him into the bathroom, take off all his clothes since he insists on being naked when he does his business, put him on the potty seat and wait....)

Will: Hi mommy! Hi mommy! Hi mommy!

Me: Hi, Will. Can you go teetee?

Will: Yesh

(waiting, waiting, growing older by the minute)

Me: Hays! No! Turn off the water, it's HOT. No, stop messing with the toilet paper. Put you brother's toothbrush DOWN. No, sir! You may NOT squeeze out all the soap!! Will!! STOP FLUSHING!! We only flush after we go teetee. Hays! Get out of the bathtub!!

Will: I all done. I need tissue. I flush. NO HAYS!!!! I FLUSH!!! MY TURN!!!!

(fist-fight ensues)

Me: Stop it!! STOP FIGHTING!!! That is ENOUGH! Both of you- out of here!!!

(Tiny naked bottoms running down the hall.)

*End Scene*




And here are some pictures to illustrate the joy of potty training twin toddlers:



After a successful potty attempt, Will decides to ride his bike.

We have a little potty for when the big potty is otherwise occupied. The twins, however, discovered a new use for it.

Potty training is tough on everyone. We could all use a drink
