I can't believe I have forgotten to tell you guys this. On the These Monkey Kids Are So Freakin Smart It's Scary List, please add #789 They have potty trained themselves. (For pee pee I must clarify.)

Yes, ladies and gentlemen, it's true. For the past year I have been buying whatever books and dvds I have come across that talk about using the potty. They listened intently, but did not show any interest in copying the cartoon characters when they weeweed. I did not force the issue. About a month ago, I bought 2 potties, bc there is no way they could share on this one. I said nothing except, "wow your very own potties!" They started wanting to try, then they went peepee and got stickers! They needed help pulling pants up and down so that was a little annoying bc they wanted to go every 5 minutes at the start, but oh well. Also in the beginning, and still a little, it is a novelty bc they get to go in the bathroom, which they have not been allowed to do unless it's bathtime, then wash hands afterwards, which is a big deal to them.

Now they have gotten to the point where they can do it all themselves, with supervision. Without supervision, they unroll the whole roll of paper into the toilet. The weird thing is, they have some issue with pooping in the potty. No amount of convincing can persuade them. I just figure they will go when it's time, just as they decided it was time to pee pee on the toidy. All that obsessing and worrying I did was for naught. These little piggies monkeys went wee wee wee all the way home.
