Day 1 has come to an end..

and things are going well. We had a few accidents:
3 on the floor and 1 messy one in some underwear. But have had way more successes!! What I have learned so far:

-Haven't had to use the timer much, the bathroom is like a revolving door
-We need a bigger bathroom with a TV
-It is possible to go a whole day without letting them watch Dora
-Suckers work to get them to poop in the potty (2/3 did that today)
-Eli WAS ready to potty train
-NO pants is the way to go. When they had underwear on in the AM they peed in it and did not notice. They each had one accident on the floor, were horrified and embarrassed and learned quickly to go to the bathroom.
-Sanitizing wipes are a blessing since there were bare butts all over the place!

I think I can get this done by Monday. Here's to hoping we only spend 50% of the day in the bathroom tomorrow-today was about 75%.
