A Mother in Utah took potty training to a new level a couple weeks ago. How so? She took the potty training straight to the dining table… in the middle of a crowded deli. That’s right. She took along two potty chairs, one for each of her twin girls, undid their jumpsuits down to their ankles and let them sit on their potties while eating chicken nuggets. How are your children going to learn how to GO TO the potty, if they are not getting up and GOING TO the potty? Children need to learn that there is a time a place to go to the potty and to hold it long enough to make it to a bathroom.
I am potty training my twins at the moment so I know all too well how hard it is when you are in public and your child suddenly tells you “I have to go potty.” Especially if you are all alone with your multiples and there is no one to run interference with the other child/children; you have to drag everyone into the bathroom. Then you have to try to keep your other child/children from touching everything in the bathroom and from unlocking the stall door, all while you are trying to encourage your other child to do their business in this strange environment. If they have previously experienced the loud noise of auto-flushing industrial toilets, they may get apprehensive and then not go after all. But potty training has its setbacks and you have to expect that they will happen. Just go with the flow, even if that flow doesn’t happen in the potty.
So today we will review some guidelines for potty training your kids: More

Ok, maybe you don’t need a potty that is so blinged out, but I can’t remember how many times I needed a clean place for my kids “to go” while on the road.
My Carry Potty was designed by a mom for moms! This awesome little potty is made from high quality, durable plastic and requires NO assembly at all.
A feature that you will love…..the clip shut lid which is completely leak and odor proof! Amanda Jenner, the potty designer, said “We’ve tested this many many times. We don’t want to tell you how many times we’ve had our family “test” it out, trust us, it’s really odor and leak proof.” We believe you Amanda! More

You would think he was trying to move the house with the grunts and groans coming from down the hall. He is flushed and trying his hardest to just… Poop! Feeling defeated he resigns from being king of the throne.
Don’t let constipation defeat your toddler!
Constipation refers to less than three bowel movements per week or stools that are difficult to pass. It results in pain and can hinder potty training. The last thing you want is for your child to be afraid to poop. If your child becomes afraid to poop because it hurts they can start withholding when they have the urge, only making the matter worse!

June & Jasmine excited about their new potties
Potty Training. Two words that every multiple parent dreads hearing. In part, because there are so many unpredictable questions to be answered, when training not just one, but two or three babies. What do you need to get started? When should you start? Which rewards work best? And what should you do, if things don’t go as planned?
Introducing our twinnies to the potty can be exciting, if you make it fun and keep your expectations reasonable. When they receive their first potty, (most likely) they’ll both be feeling like queen/king(s) of their new thrones. But that’s just the beginning… More
