Today, I showed the 2 year olds that I cannot be out stubborned. They were very unhappy to learn this.
Two hours before dinner last night, I told the small ones that they would need to clean up the bucket of Duplos and the bucket of Thomas Trains that they had dumped out on [...]
Oh that wonderful time in a toddlers life when they make the transition from crib to toddler bed. So much freedom, so much fun.
Unless you are the parents.
And have twins.
With one child it’s put them back in bed a few times and make the room dark and they’ll generally sleep. Playing with things [...]
So yesterday, I was observing the boys in the living room and I saw Gavin walk away from Liam. Around his neck he was wearing a pair of toy binoculars.
When I saw Liam get up and high tail it after him, I no doubt expected a squabble to ensue over said binoculars.
When Liam [...]
Just thought I’d throw out a quick note about what the guys are doing these days–you know, all their cute little tricks.
Gavin is:
-standing and cruising on furniture
-walking behind the little push toys
-clapping his hands (MIGHT be saying yay, not sure yet)
-saying: all done, more-more, Uh oh and boo (complete with hiding and peeking motions)
-still has [...]
A Belly Lament
by Me
On my post-twin body, I’ll be blunt.
It’s my belly that suffered the brunt
For it stretched out so wide with 2 babies inside
now it looks like a butt on the front.
Feel free to join in my limerick game– let me know if you write one, so I don’t miss [...]
Fair warning–this will be a whine/rant/complainy post.
Here is a snapshot of my night.
7:30pm– The boys start getting cranky and rubbing their eyes. Looks like time for bed. They’re wanting to nurse, so we did that and once they were done, I put them down for bed. This was about 7:45. Both boys disliked this option [...]
So soon after returning from vacation, we took a ride to the local airport yesterday and dropped the hubby off. Work has called him to California, much to my dislike. Though things probably won’t be as difficult as they were while he was in the Philippines back in May, single parenting infants and a preschooler [...]
Peanut Butter and Jelly in all their active baby cuteness:
Loading…
Over the weekend the guys turned the big 9 months old!
In honor of this occasion, Liam cut his 2nd tooth.
Gavin thought about it, but will remain toothless for now. He doesn’t seem to mind. He may just pop 2 at once–there are 2 suspicious bumps on his lower gum, accompanied by cranky behavior…
In related [...]
Well, we are definitely making some–progress that is.
Here is a snapshot of last night.
11:30 –You know there is something about 11:30. 6 nights out of 7, a baby will wake up at 11:30. You can almost set your watch by it. And it’s not even the same baby every night–weird.
Anyhow,
11:30pm–Just as we are [...]
