TMI: Synchronized Pooping

For anyone out there reading this and contemplating whether their twins (or triplets) might be identical, save yourself the $200 for the DNA kit and ask yourself this all important question....Do the subjects in question poop at the same time as one another each day?? Forget blood type, hair color, eye color, and the like...... it's in the poop. Mason and Ryland are in tune, but stylistically have their differences.

Mason is a public pooper so to speak. As long as he doesn't have to disrupt playtime, there's no shame in his game. He doesn't care who's looking so long as the good times continue to roll without interruption. Perhaps he will be a great multi-tasker?! Just don't ask him if he wants to use the pot, for which you will get an emphatic NO and a stern fist shaken in your direction.

Ryland seems to understand there is a proper place to poop and it's sure as heck not amid a crowd of people. He seeks out every private locale in the near vicinity to mark his territory. Kind of like the neighbor in Home Improvement, you only see a head peering from behind some form of barrier. Today I needed to get something from the pantry for lunch...only to step into Ryland's aromatic cloud of stink as he was *hiding* behind the kitchen table. He was so mad I stepped into his *private pooping zone* that he prompty closed the pantry door behind me as I stepped in for a gander. I felt like I had to ask permission to come out!

Pooping aside, the boys are very interested in the potty chair these days. They particularly like demonstrating the many uses of the urine receptacle.....makes a great hat, carrying bucket for matchbox cars, or sometimes it's fun to strategically wedge your foot in it so that it gets stuck. Oh yeah....they do sometimes like to sit on it during diaper changes and make a faucet blasting full force sound effect as they sit on it naked. It will be so sad the day they actually pee in it and can't wear it as a hat anymore. (at least that's where I'm drawing the line!)

So, my final deep thought of the day......how is this synchronized pooping thing going to work once they really start potty training? I guess we'll need to get another chair to put in some out of the way corner!
