these two boyz are so curious...they want to know about everything...not just about, but how it works...they were fascinated for 30-45 minutes total today by the hose reel and this puddle...
bedtime has been difficult lately...tonight, andrew is out of town, so i am completely in charge...they stay in their beds for a while, then the screaming and/or throwing starts...i decide, i can be patient...but it goes on for 30 minutes and ends in high pitch screaming...i finally end up going upstairs and end up slamming both doors and yelling at them to go to bed...this failed miserably because they continued to scream, only louder...and ewie got out of his crib, open his "child proof" door handle and was headed into cam's room, when i made it up the stairs...decided to lay down with them both...cam loved it...e could not stop laughing...final plan, put them back into their own beds...i sat on the stairs just listening...they both screamed full bore in the beginning...as time passed, ewie would get loud and as he would fade, cam would get loud...a thought came to me..."what if they did not hear each other?!" so i turned on the attic fan...they both got louder in the beginning...then taking turns...my strong willed cam-a-lam was the last screamer...but the attic fan won...
as i sat on the stairs, listening, i thought about a lot...first of all, i am a first time mom...but with two...it definitely has taken me a lot longer to listen to them cry...any time they both cry at the same time, my heart breaks in half and makes me completely crazed...some of you have experienced this (sorry pam and fritz)...but i held it together tonight...by myself...and i wondered, "what would one child at a time be like?!"...just a little curious...twins are such a blessing but such a challenge...they are just different from singletons...i do believe it is all front loaded, as everyone who has twins tells me...in the long run, i will win : )
