Training Daze

The potty training days have begun, and the parents have been hitting the books to learn how to teach the twins how to do it properly. “Experts” say the process takes longer with boys than girls. Some believe this is because mothers potty train their sons more often than fathers do, and the mothers have different equipment. For boys, it is also a two-step process – learning to pee sitting down first, then standing. Sitting is the first logical step since bowel movements and urine often come at the same time. Once boys can master control of these functions, standing to pee is easily learned. Aiming is the challenge. A book written about toilet training twins suggest allowing each to advance at their own pace. While Trey Davey has participated some, Benji is the eager one and has been the most successful. They seem to be advancing normally.
