twin blogs
I have found my favorite twins blog, and it’s by a dad. http://childsplayx2.com
He’s pretty funny and boy does he deserve father of a the year for how much he does to help. Although I guess with twins you don’t have much choice but to help. Anyway, it’s a neat site and I think the guy rocks.
Here is a funny gem I read this morning from the archives:

And an example of why he rules:
This weekend our babies were sick. In the Childsplayx2 household, since I don’t have boobs and don’t have my nipples yanked and bitten on a daily basis, I have night-time duty. If the babies get up, Daddy gets up. This has gotten easier and easier as they are just about sleeping through the night. Except when they’re sick. This weekend, both had coughs and were incredibly congested. It was a rough couple of nights.
Early Sunday I am awakened by both babies crying. I go to JT first hoping to calm him down since he is usually the easier of the two to get back to sleep. I have no such luck
so I go to Bri hoping for a miracle. It doesn’t happen. They both want to be comforted and I can tell both are still tired. I scoop both of them up and carry them to our chaise lounge and pull a blanket over us. Bri gets tucked into my left arm, facing out. JT lies on my belly and rests his head on my chest. It’s still fairly dark out and we lie there in the warmth of the blanket.
Before long, both are sleeping in our early morning cuddle. I glance down at their angelic faces and I am struck by how fortunate I am. For so long I wanted a little one to share my life with – and now I have two. Two little ones who love being held by their daddy, feeling safe, secure and a little bit tired. Yes, they may be a lot of work and yes, it would be easier with one. But I wouldn’t have it any other way.
