No more PULL-UPS!

DING DONG...... the nighttime PULL-UPS are goodbye, gone!

I have to say -- the thought of potty training the twins took years, DECADES off my life.

The actual training - did not live up to all that sleepless worry.

That should teach me something - but that's a whole notha post in itself!

Anywaaaaaaay.....

Long about a week ago ... we ran out of pull-ups and I said to the girls....

"Wanna sleep in your undies?"

Why of course they did!

We've worked hard over the past 6 months (since they've been daytime trained) to cut out beverages after dinner time.

They can have a sip of water here or there and perhaps a swig after teeth brushing, but no full glasses after supper.

This was an attempt to help them stay dry through the night.

And by golly gosh - it actually worked.

Their pull-ups have been dry in the morning for a long time so I really wasn't too worried about the switch, but you never know!

And after a week of sleepin' in our undies -- we are kissing the pull-ups GOODBYE!

I am quite proud of my little ladies.

They really sailed through this huge milestone, with the exception of a few weeks in the very beginning.

So, what advice would I have for other families about to embark on this twin potty training journey?

I really only have one tip.

WAIT.

WAIT.

WAIT until they are good and ready.

And then when you think they are ready...

WAIT some more.

I really don't have any other magic tricks.

Our first attempt was when they were between 2 and 2 1/2 and it was not the right time for {them}.

Round about age 3 -- poof they grasped the concept and ran with it.

So, we bid farewell to our pull-ups, for now..... I'm sure they'll make a 2nd debut when Ms. A catches up!

With love,
Cuz I'm the mama!
