Sleepyheads

One thing I love about twins is that I am hardly ever awakened in the morning to the sound of a crying child. Usually I am awakened by some serious giggling! This morning when I entered the girls room to find the source of such laughter I was greeted by such a cute sight. Savannah had taken her pillow, blankie, teddy, and blanket over to Sydney's bed. She had set up her stuff just so at the foot of Sydney's bed and they were both laying there and playing footsies with each other giggling themselves silly. That is what makes life with twins so special, the little things, like those sweet giggles.

Pleeease!

Today at the end of our shopping trip to Wal-Mart I let the girls get a little tube with those mini-m&m's. As soon as we got in the car for the 20 minute drive home they tore into them. Savannah has more of a sweet tooth than Sydney so she finished her's in about ten minutes and Sydney still had about half left. They are already really good about saying Thank You so I've been telling them to say please to each other when asking for something. So when Savannah looked over and saw that Sydney still had m&m's she started begging "Pleeease Sydney, Pleeease". It was so adorable. Now Sydney is a sweety and usually will share with her but today she said "No, I eating." The best part was that Savannah was asking really sweetly(not her usually bossy way) and Sydney answered so nice too, not NO!, but just a matter of fact "No, I eating". It is really fun to see them interact.

Phone Hounds

My little girls have become phone hounds. How did this happen when I myself don't particularly like talking on the phone? Hmmmm. Must be the grandparents. My parents currently live a 24 hour drive from us, so when I was pregnant with the twins they gave me a cell phone to use to talk to my mom. Since this time I have gotten my own cell phone, but kept the first one since it has free minutes between families. Anyway, the girls have figured out that if that phone rings it is always Nana. When they hear it ring they will say "Mommy's phone" and then I ask "Who is calling?" and they will answer "Nana". It is really too adorable. Lately though anytime Joey or I are on any phone (be both have our own cell phones, plus the home phone, plus I have the Nana phone) they want to talk. One of them will start out saying "I talk" over and over again and before long it becomes a chant with both of them singing "I talk, I talk, I talk . . ." over and over again. That is the thing about twins, everything ends up in stereo!

First Blog

Ah! My first blog. I figure if my husband can do it, then I can too. I'm going to primarily use my blog to chronicle the lives of my twin daughters . . . but then again you never know what I might want to include so we will just see how it goes.

Terrible Two's

I've never really bought into the whole terrible two's theory myself, however, lately I have begun to question my thinking. My girls are now 2 years 5 months and the last month has been trying my sanity. Savannah has started waking up in the middle of the night when she usually sleeps really well. She will wake up and then doesn't want me to leave the room and wants to go to bed with Joey & I. That has been a little trying, but at least it isn't every night. It only happens 2 or 3 nights a week. Along with this both the girls have started this whiney, clingy thing. This really annoys me! They are also really bossy all of the sudden, even with me. This I find minorly annoying and actually find it rather funny most of the time.

But enough about the bad stuff, there is a lot of good stuff too. Like how cute they are when they are being little mothers with each other or their teddy bears. They have to cover their teddy bears up and give them a pillow and turn off the lights so they can go night night. There is more but I guess it will have to wait because right now they are demanding my attention.
