I have recently started to potty train the twins. It is a very challenging task as there are two of them. They are 2 & 1/2 years old and I didn't really want to push them into it. We had a long few years with Avery having accidents because she started potty training at 18 months old. Bennett and Bria both tell me when they have to go, although it isn't always consistent and they do have accidents. We have had them in pull ups for a while now and decided this week to start with underwear. Bennett really loves his Thomas the Tank and Lightening McQueen briefs and Breezy adores all panties no matter who/what is on them :) I decided to use their stuffed animals as encouragement in hopes that they will grasp the concept better if they get to "teach" it as well. They both put their pull up's on their animals and then we would take them off and let them go "potty" (while I make a potty sound with my mouth...it was a big hit). It lasted about two times until they both decided to dunk their animals into the toilet and yell, "They pottied in their pull ups!" Great! Hopefully it goes smoother for me than it did for their animals :)
