Well, we finally graduated from the little Graco playpen. The girls were getting too big and energetic for it, and I found this great deal on Amazon (think it's original price now though). It's a huge metal pen...easily folds for storage...for 37 dollars and free shipping.
I used it as a transition pen to make sure they understood that they are to pee on their pee pad and NOT on the floor. Started on lino, graduated to carpet, and now they're left in the house free. Only problem is that though they're really good about peeing on the pads, I'm still finding solid stool next to the pad instead of on it. Can't figure out if they're depositing it on carpet or just dragging it off the pads while going in for a poo snack. It's gross, but I haven't found anything to stop them from doing it.
