I was sucked in by 1 Lora Jensen: "Potty Train in only 3 days" she said....This lying snot woman clearly has not met children with the will power of my twins. We began the big ordeal event Saturday morning with hopes of being fully trained by Monday evening. Wes and I were totally on-board, we CAN do this. We read every line of the e-book Friday evening, we were armed with 30 pairs of underwear for each kid with super fun characters, bright colors, and even boxer briefs for Cal just like daddy's. We were loaded up with rewards from stickers to "memmys" (Charlotte's sweet word for m&ms). I had curly ribbons on the m&m jar, fun froggy soap, and Nemo and "Ween" big kid wipes! nothing. nothing. nothing. Nothing that is except for 60 pairs of wet underwear, floors, and dad's recliner to scrub.
By Monday, everyone was exhausted; poor little Charli was sobbing she was so tired. I can say that they Charlotte has learned to "hold" it for hours. We have toned down our crazy idea of training for nap and bedtime all at once, and have succumbed to the evil empire of pull-ups. I can't bear to put them back in diapers after so much work.
Today, "happy Tuesday" as it will forever remain in my mind, was quite a different story. After getting the kids out of bed, and getting Charlotte dressed for the day (in big girl pants) she came running to me "wet...wet...mommy" I found that she had wet her pants again. I sat her down on her little pink potty chair in the kitchen, and while I was getting clean pants for her...I heard the sweetest sound of the weekend "WOAH!" My big girl finally figured out what we were trying to get her to do all weekend, and was she ever PROUD! High Fives all around, she even shared her "memmy's" with her little brother. (enough to bring tears to my eyes).
With all the quality time / constant supervision, I was able to take some pretty cute pictures of the 2 cutest butts the world has EVER seen!
