Potty preparation twins: Part two {The side yesteryear side step}
So our really source twenty-four hr menstruation of potty preparation our twin boys was Feb 6th. I wrote this spider web log post service 4 days later: "Potty preparation twins: Party 1 {no plan}." This is business office 2, twenty-four hr menstruation eighteen of potty training.
Potty preparation our eager toddler C has been good-- actually, almost easy; I intend because he genuinely wants to potty train. When I potty trained our oldest, I was really stressed leaving the household amongst him inwards underwear. I had a organisation too a fully loaded diaper bag, ready for every possible scenario. The other twenty-four hr menstruation I decided to receive got the boys to lunch. I made it halfway into the eatery when I remembered that I didn't receive got a diaper pocketbook amongst me (I commonly leave of absence the diaper pocketbook inwards the car since our twins are similar a shot toddlers). I took the boys dorsum to the car too scoured to a greater extent than or less the van trying to notice a alter of wearing apparel too some spare diapers inwards instance of an accident. I experience similar it has been ane of those times of what y'all produce amongst your source kid compared to what y'all produce amongst your 2d child. While the persuasion of potty preparation twins caused me serious anxiety, I haven't been every bit stressed similar a shot that we've genuinely started.
As for our other toddler, O... I don't know if he is ready to potty train. This past times weekend, a picayune over 2 weeks of potty preparation his twin brother, he insisted on wearing underwear. I genuinely took him to church building inwards underwear yesterday (another representative of something I never would receive got done amongst our first, "Oh, y'all wish to potty train? Okay, good let's leave of absence the household then."). I am non solely on board amongst this because I don't intend he actually wants to potty develop correct now. I experience similar it is almost similar his brothers are getting a lot of attending for potty preparation or existence potty trained too thus he is trying to restrain on the bandwagon. However, he genuinely did pretty proficient yesterday. Today he has in ane lawsuit to a greater extent than insisted on underwear. While he's doing well, I intend a lot of it is process motivated. He keeps using the restroom too and thus demanding a treat, "I went again, Momma! Treat!" And too thus because he's using the bathroom, his twin blood brother C is stepping upwards his bath usage, "I went too, Momma! Treat!" Let me tell you, I persuasion I was inwards the bath a lot during the source calendar week of potty preparation a duo weeks ago. I experience similar this has larn a game for them and, honestly, it is driving me slightly crazy, non to lift nosotros are out of treats too it isn't fifty-fifty noon yet. I'm hoping that today is only a novelty too that it volition article of apparel off soon. I am trying to live on supportive of it (while tempering their wish for treats) since the terminate goal, fifty-fifty if it is only a game, could hateful fully potty trained toddlers.
I am non certain of the administration nosotros are heading amongst O. I experience comfortable taking C places amongst us inwards his underwear, similar to our neighbor's household or to the park. I experience comfortable amongst him inwards his car topographic point too he did slap-up amongst a baby-sitter. I don't know close O... I don't know if I would wish him inwards underwear out too close correct now. He didn't receive got an accident inwards the church building nursery, but I intend that was because he had only used the bathroom. I don't know if he would receive got told them that he had to go. He seems 100% motivated past times whatsoever he has to produce to larn treats, non the wish to potty train. Today nosotros are hanging to a greater extent than or less our neighborhood too thus I'm letting him dabble inwards potty training. If he has accidents on our walk or at the park, I'll belike lay him dorsum inwards a diaper until he genuinely is ready to fully potty train-- for reals.
As for fully potty preparation C, he is acting similar he wants to receive got the adjacent step: nights. While non having 2 kids inwards diapers during the twenty-four hr menstruation is excellent, I don't genuinely consider a kid fully potty trained until they are going days too nights inwards underwear too are trustworthy inwards those underwear. These are the questions I enquire myself to determine if our boys are trustworthy inwards underwear:
The persuasion of potty preparation C during nights correct similar a shot doesn't thrill me. When nosotros potty trained our oldest for nights, he was only waking upwards every morning time amongst a dry out diaper, so, really, in that location wasn't much potty preparation required. We told him what to produce if he had to purpose the restroom at nighttime too it pretty much happened from there. We did produce the whole protecting the mattress trick. The mattress was protected inwards a zipped vinyl mattress protector. Then I made the bed amongst a fitted canvass too a loose sheet. Over that I lay a fitted waterproof mattress protector. On pinnacle of that, I in ane lawsuit to a greater extent than made the bed amongst a fitted canvass too a loose sheet. On pinnacle of the loose sheet, I set a waterproof mattress pad. On pinnacle of that I lay his comforter. The persuasion was that if he had an accident at night, the comforter would live on protected past times the waterproof mattress pad too I could only strip the bed of the source layer of messed sheets and have a 2d layer already made on the bed (no making a bed inwards the essence of the night). It worked great. The few times he had an accident, it was commonly only a picayune bit, plenty to wake him upwards too warning him he needed to purpose the restroom, too it didn't tumble out to a greater extent than than in ane lawsuit inwards the night.
C is non waking upwards inwards the morning time amongst heavily moisture diapers, but they are nevertheless non dry. However, every nighttime when nosotros lay him inwards a diaper earlier bed he gets quite upset too insists he wants to article of apparel underwear all night. He is taking his afternoon repose fourth dimension inwards underwear. Some days he only stays inwards his room too plays for an hour, heading to the restroom if he feels he needs to move out potty; some days he genuinely takes a 2-4 hr nap too is dry out the whole time. I'm completely on the ground close whether or non he would produce good inwards underwear at night. Even to a greater extent than so, I'm concerned close how good his brothers would grip him using the restroom at night. Since they all three portion a room, would he wake upwards his brothers? Would I receive got 2 toddlers playing inwards the bath at 2 am? Would I live on struggling to larn three boys dorsum to bed after changing sheets inwards the essence of the night? I'm only non certain how it volition go. I intend I would experience to a greater extent than adventurous too cavalier close trying out nights if I wasn't almost 22 weeks pregnant. Sleep has larn quite of import to me.
My hubby too I talked close it too nosotros experience similar if C is really wanting to produce nights, nosotros should allow him. He may surprise us, only similar O may surprise us past times genuinely existence ready to potty train. I'm at a indicate inwards this pregnancy where I experience pretty good. I receive got publish energy during the day. I'm taking it a chip easier than usual, thus nosotros are domicile more. Why non allow them potty develop if they are ready? They volition live on turning three mid-April too thus the choice is to expression too potty develop them when I am huge meaning inwards my 3rd trimester or, fifty-fifty less desirable, when nosotros receive got a newborn, who volition most probable live on arriving this June.
We receive got already decided to move out into this with our invention thrown out the window too this is only some other representative of seeing where the potty preparation route takes us...

O- yes, but only if supervised too nosotros know when he terminal used the bathroom - Would I allow him ride inwards his car topographic point inwards underwear?
- Would I allow him sentry a painting inwards our invitee room inwards underwear, on our invitee bed for an hr too a half?
C- non quite in that location yet. I've been keeping him out of the invitee room - Would I allow him hang out on my hubby too I's bed inwards underwear?
- Would I allow him hang out on my parents' Tempur-Pedic mattress inwards underwear?
