Today being Tuesday I will write all about my terrific talented twins. I hope to make this an ongoing thing so Please leave comments about anything you’d like to know about my twins or twins in general, and I’ll see what i can do.

So to start off Twin Talk Tuesday I’m going to have a look at two other T words – Toilet Training.

Some comments I got right before I started the toilet training journey:

“It’ll be so much easier to do two at once. They’ll just copy each other and use the toilet.”

“Toilet training the twins at the same time will make it so much easier on you.”

“Just train them when they are ready, much easier.”

Number of above comments that have proven right so far:

And here’s why:

1. My boys certainly do copy each other. They copy each other by seeing how many different places around they house they can poop in. They have yet to copy each other by using the toilet or the potty.

2. Toilet training them at the same time seemed a good idea in theory, but in reality we were always running out of clothes for one twin. He simply could not be less interested in this whole using the toilet business, so we consentrated on his brother whom is now pretty reliably toilet trained. Now it’s Twin B’s turn.

3. If we waited for twin B to be ready, he would possibly never toilet train. He doesn’t mind if he’s wet. Why go poop on the toilet when he can keep playing and just do it in his pants? Now he’s a smart young man and can totally toilet train if he wanted to. And therein lies the problem.

So, Toilet Training Twins. I have learnt to take it slowly, not get hung up about how long it takes, and to take my cues from my boys as to when to start. I have also learnt the Great value of the STICKER CHART
