Hi J.,
You're fortunate that your boys want to train early! My sons trained later. Yahoo for you! Pull ups never worked for me either. My theory...it's too close to a diaper for them. They're not gonna want to use the potty because it's too comfortable. When I trained my sons, I used regular underwear. Yes, it's a little messy...but they didn't like the wetness of it and soon learned that the only way to keep it dry was to use the potty. I did try the butt naked method but for me that was more messy than the underwear. I got tired of cleaning up puddles and worse off my floor. And that's when I just had one at a time. :o) A trick I learned was give them something to drink and then have them sit on the potty to go. Try not to let them up until they have gone. That helped in getting them used to the idea of sitting on the potty when they had to go. Be consistent and they'll catch on quickly. Interestingly, my boys always trained to pee first on the potty before pooping. With pooping, I could always tell when they were and rushed them off to the potty. That for us took a little longer. But once they made the connection, it became easy. I now have twin girls who are almost ready to train. Never had to do two at a time before so let me know how it goes!
