Each day I am reminded in subtle, gentle ways that I am the mom of twins. There are the two smiles that greet me in the morning and the chorus of giggles that fills the living room. There are two booster seats, two car seats and two play pens. Although having twin babies has been difficult at times, the experience has been strengthening and enjoyable.
Today, however, I was reminded that I am mom to twins and it hit me with an unnatural force that left me gasping for air. I am entering into the toddler stage and I am not ready!!!
The boys have started escaping from their confines of the living room and they are loving their freedom. My head spins as I frantically run around closing cupboards, holding drawers shut and trying to steer them away from stairs. I have been given a glimpse of the next few months/years and I admit that I have been left shaken and fearful.
I know I have said it before but how exactly am I going to do this??
P.S. I am accepting resumes for a nanny position. Job starts immediately.

  1. I certainly don't want to minimize what you're sharing, but I know that you are going to do it with your quiet strength and positive attitude, just as you face every challenge before you.

    So should I buy some cabinet locks for the boys' birthday??
