Twins and Potty Training

This month, which has been a very loooong month, I have attempted to potty train A&E.

They each have a potty that when they use it, a song will play.

So far, they only stand in the potty. I sit down so they can see what it looks like when you go potty, and I sit them down on their potty. But, at they seem to be uninteresed at this time.

Although, two Sunday's ago, Twin "A" did use the potty, for #2, when she was shown where to sit by her grandma. Daddy and I were out for a while and when we got home, grandma told us what Twin "A" had done. Grandma said Twin "A" had gone #2 on the bathroom floor at first, then grandma moved her to the potty where she finished.

Well, yesterday, after the twins were in their baby pool for a while, they came in and I sat them down on their pottychairs. Twin "B" looked like she had to go #1, so I took off her swinsuit and diaper. At first, she pottied on the floor, then I moved her to the potty where she finished. I had to keep sitting her down though.

When she was finished, a song came on and I showed her what she had done.

At this time, I would not even say they are ready to be diaper free. But, they are learning what it is like to use the potty.

Twins and Toothbrushes

Over the past month I have begun showing my twins how to use their toothbrushes.

I even put a little bit if orajel toothpaste on the brushes.

Twin "A" likes brushing her teeth, while Twin "B" is not a big fan. Especially with toothpaste on the brush.

While I am brushing my teeth, my twins watch me and I give them their toothbrushes to follow along with me.

I am doing my best to get them to brush their teeth. Maybe when they turn 19 or 20 months they will understand more and will brush their teeth with me.

Big Park for Twins

So yesterday, May 30th, I took my girls to the park.

I had to get them, and me, out of the house if only for an hour.

We walked to the park and we just played on the big green grass area away from the swings and other things.

It was actually nice. They ran or walked away from me, but it was easy to catch up with them and the park was kinda empty.

Just remember, this is not aways recommended to do with twins. Especially if you are alone. If you can, please get someone to help you. I never have anyone to help me. I wish I did.

But, what I want is never granted. It is nice to want. But help is never within my reach.

So, just have fun with your twins, even if it is for a little bit at a time in your park.

Naptime for Twins?

That is right, this is a question.

When do your twins nap?

My twins used to nap 2x a day. Now, I am lucky to get them to nap around 11:30 or 12:00 and sleep for 1.5 hours.

It is no fun when your twins will not nap. I mean, not only do they at least need one nap to rest and grow, but as Mommy, you need a break from them.

Don't you need a break from your twins?

I do.
