One of the benefits of staying home full-time with twin toddlers is witnessing their milestones. I get to see them learn new things every day. I watch over them as they eat, play, and laugh together. We share a common language. They know by the tone of my voice when I'm joking and when I'm serious; I understand what they mean when they ask, "Where's my effens?" or "Can I have mo seal?"
On the other hand, because I'm with them every day, I don't notice the small changes that strike others as slightly miraculous. Friends who haven't seen the girls in a while will exclaim, "I can't believe how tall they're getting!" or "Wow! Look how long their hair is!"
My girls are growing up.
Your girls are beautiful. They do sadly grow up so fast.
ReplyDeleteLoved your idea about the Don't Hate the Eggo's web site. I give that my endorsement as I am now forever linked to frozen waffles.
Aww... Sniffle. HUG.
