Sydney and Hailey
Extra Extra Read all about it....
We officially made it through a full week where the girls did not take off their diapers! We did not use any duct tape or safety pins all week! It all began last Sunday when at nap time Sydney told me she did not need the tape she would not take off her diaper. I trusted her and she did indeed obey. Since then she inspired Hailey to join in the fun. So far so good!! I think potty training may indeed be on the horizon. I just have to decide when I ready... UGH!!
So life with the twins lately...
Fun stuff...
Love to feed each other their meals
Share everything, even already chewed gum. If one sister looses hers the other splits hers. You should see the small pieces of gum they end up chewing.
Lots of giggling
Game playing (they ride on each others backs)
Kisses and hugs
Learned all their colors... pink is a favorite.
Love baths
Love dresses
Love baby dolls
Love purses
Have to buckle the top buckle on the car seat
Have lots of opinions
Love Little Bear and Scooby Doo
Love to play night night (they each take turns being the baby).
Conversations all day talking talking talking. So fun to listen to.
Hugs
Parks
Special connection, always together, snuggling, thoughtful of one another, are not happy with something unless sister gets it.
Telling on each other (this isn't bad because its just too funny, especially since Hailey calls Sydney Hailey most of the time and is telling on herself).
Oh and they are SUPER CUTE which helps a lot!
Not so fun...
Tantrums times two
Screaming in Unison at stores
People giving me rude looks in stores
Scratching (even mommy at times)
Playing instead of napping
Lots of opinions
Falling asleep in the car = no nap time
Lots of opinions
Hates shopping
Wants everything/Doesn't want anything
Lots of opinions
Illness
Being Shy
Messes cereal on the floor, sugar on the floor, water on the floor etc...
Diaper changes
Collecting things like Ipods, money, and other things they are not allowed to have!
Only want mommy
Don't want sister to have mommy
words like Mine, NO, and NOT FAIR (I can't believe they already say not fair).
Doing errands (NIGHTMARE)
Riding in the stroller...
Obviously the good always outweighs the bad! These little girls are the joy of all our days. Watching them develop personalities, likes and dislikes and play together is the best! The park, pool, library will all be a lot different for our family this summer. They truly are a pair and they make our family perfect.

wow, the fun and work of having twins! sounds ALOT like my life.....lol. they are growing up! i too have started to think about potty training. i think my girls are ready, it's me that is not :) i hope to have them done by winter, but we'll see what happens. the fun with twins way outweighs the work...most of the time. anyway, i have to get going, sounds like our twins are pretty much doing ALL the same things, good and bad! anyway, we leave for n.c. on wed. so i won't be around to comment, but i will catch up when i get back! have a great week. p.s. i hope to do one more update before i leave!
So cute! I like what you wrote about teaching the kids to work. I "hired" Elijah today to pick up sticks in the yard (bad wind blew a bunch down and we needed to cut the grass today). I told him he could earn enough money to buy himself a bag of candy. It took a couple of trips out to encourage him but he got the job done!
Laura, I am starting to understand your comments about your twins. I am re-thinking my wish that they would walk early. I can barely keep up with them now and they are only crawling! Tonight, Nicholas reached over and bit Tommy on the back (they are both teething). I cannot wait for Michael to get back from being out of town! I cannot keep my eye on both of them all the time by myself anymore.
Oh... I bet you will have a blast this summer now that the girls are older!!! So many fun things to do that will tire them out :-)
Love it, Laura. Your girls are so adorable and I can't wait to meet them and you in person. Soon, I hope.
I love this!!!
