    So the boys seem ready...Mommy does not!!! LOL! Just looking for some insight as to what to expect. We are on day 4 and the only accidents we have had is yesterday both pooped in their pull ups but my MIL was watching all 3 and thats a lot for her to handle and today JT peed just a tiny bit and then stopped and told us and finished on the potty:) Daycare they were great and were dry all day!!:) Soooooo....this is seeming to easy....when is it going to fall apart?
    I try to take them every 45mins-hour bc anything sooner just seems like they are forcing out drops. Also Jack has not pooped on the potty but today he was saying his belly hurt and was kind of bending over grabbing "down there" so I assume he had to go but he wouldn't, not on his froggy potty or the big potty. Luckily he is pretty sensitive to lots of fruit and juice so I will make sure he doesn't get backed up but any advice on getting him to go on the potty? Right now I'm using fruit snacks as leverage bc he LOVES them but it breaks my heart to give them to JT and not to Jack (another twin downfall I guess).


    Anyways....any and all advice would be lovely!!! We are using pull ups at nap/bedtime and at daycare for the first couple weeks just bc of sanitation and to get them used to how they do it there. And at home I just put them in underwear...their little tiny hineys look so cute in them!:)

    sounds like you are doing well! keep up the good work! yep, I love their tiny hineys in underwear too! (and ours were in cloth diapers so their bottoms were huge before!)

    It does sound like you are off to great start. I would keep reminding Jack that poop goes in the potty and if he does have a poo accident and it's firm enough, I would dump in the toilet and have him help you flush so he sees it's okay for poop to go there. I also would give him some foods that you are sure will help him go. Keep us posted with how they are doing, they really do sound like they are off to a great start!

    Thank you:) They are doing great which is why I'm waiting for it to fall apart :laughing: Maybe its bc they took the lead and not me?!
    As for Jack, he has pooped in the potty before (when we weren't actually training) and I think part of his problem is he is SO independent that now that we are "making" him go he doesn't want to...does that make sense? I don't want to feel like I'm forcing him to go which is why if he poops in his pull up at nap or in the morning like they used to do then I won't be upset bc at least he is going and hopefully we can get it moved to the potty eventually. I just need some suggestions on how to get him to go without feeling like I'm constantly nagging him to go?!

    So far this morning JT peed and pooped and Jack peed:) They are now with MIL for the day so we will see how they do!
