They were both so excited about going to the pool, they put on their bathing suits and swimmies at 9:00 AM and were ready to go!  Good thing it took me about an hour to pack up my entire house for the pool trip because the pool opens at 10.<\/p>\n<p>We had to strip out of the swim suits (that were on wrong anyway), apply sunblock with a fight from McCanless, fix hair..another fight from McCanless because she wanted Parker to wear a bow, put swimmies back on, pack snacks (which made them both want a snack&#8230;and resulted in a &#8220;mine&#8221; fight), pack balls, tea set, dive sticks, rubber ducky, baby doll, towels, baby sunscreen, face block, a change of clothes for each and finally, we were ready.  As we loaded up the golf cart, Parker announced he had to go potty&#8230;.For those of you with twins&#8230;I not only admire you, I am so, so thankful that you have them and not me!!!<\/p>\n<p>It actually was a fun day, and McCanless had an amazing discovery when I took both of them to the pool potty!  As I stripped Parker down, and held him up to the potty, McCanless grabbed her mouth with both hands and started laughing hysterically!  I thought, &#8220;well, this is the first time she has seen a &#8220;boy&#8221; go potty, I guess.&#8221;  When I asked her what was so funny, she replied smiling, &#8220;Look mommy, he has a ponytail&#8221; and laughed out loud.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.babypennington.com\/mt\/blog\/archives\/100_2123.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"100_2123.jpg\" src=\"http:\/\/www.babypennington.com\/mt\/blog\/archives\/100_2123-thumb.jpg\" width=\"250\" height=\"187\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.babypennington.com\/mt\/blog\/archives\/100_2128.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"100_2128.jpg\" src=\"http:\/\/www.babypennington.com\/mt\/blog\/archives\/100_2128-thumb.jpg\" width=\"250\" height=\"187\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.babypennington.com\/mt\/blog\/archives\/100_2127.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"100_2127.jpg\" src=\"http:\/\/www.babypennington.com\/mt\/blog\/archives\/100_2127-thumb.jpg\" width=\"250\" height=\"187\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>They were both going after the ball here.
