When you want to go shopping with newborn twins, every bit of preparation - every get-your-shoes-on, make-sure-I-have-the-list, does-everyone-have-a-coat bit - is timed so that you can nurse them right before you walk out the door. That way, maybe, they'll make it without needing to be nursed again before you get home.
When you want to go shopping with two-year-old twins, every bit of preparation - every get-your-shoes-on, make-sure-I-have-the-list, does-everyone-have-a-coat bit - is timed so that you can have them go potty right before you walk out the door. So that maybe they'll make it home from the store with dry pants.
It's not that you have to stop paying exquisite attention to your timing. It's that what you're trying to time correctly changes.
Peace of Christ to you,

Oy-- I can't even seem to remember to take the 2 yr old to the bathroom IN the house!
ReplyDeleteI can remember when potty training that I knew where every bathroom in every store I frequented was located! (and yes, I'm behind on reading blogs...)
