Any sanity saving tips?

I know I should be really happy that Jackie is going in the potty on a fairly regular basis. She tells me when she needs to go, and she actually goes a fair amount of the time. Now Beth has started to want to PT as well. I should be really happy that I am one step closer to some day being diaper free. But I'm actually feeling like I am going crazy with all the time spent on the potty, talking about potties, trying to figure out if they really are going to go or not.

It really will end up all being ok, I know, but did anyone else PT their twins at the same time, and have any tips on remaining patient while spending so much potty time? I'm just having a little bit of denial since I was so hoping to have Jackie done before Beth started.

Thanks!

 

I think Diane bit the bullet and did them at the same time. I know she lived through it!

I wish I could give you advice Em, but here's a :hug99: for now. I think it's great though that they both want to PT so young!

 

Here's my opinion on it, Em. If you do them together, your entire life is consumed by potties and pottying and all that jazz, for however long. But if you do them seperate, your entire life is consumed by potties and pottying and all that jazz...for even longer. I hope it goes well, and maybe they can encourage each other, that's what happened for us.

Hang in there and keep us updated!! :good:

One will use either. The one who has just started showing interest will only use the potty chair. But she likes to flush, so I'm not sure what she is afraid of exactly.
