Super Forest
Able to stay warm on the coldest days thanks to his cape of the Finest Fleece.
Able to fit in at any fashion event with his Collar of Frills.
Able to clean up with a single brush stroke from Big Blue.
Able to chew his way through anything with his Gums of Steel.
Yummie Tummy
Yesterday I decided that I’m terribly bored with how I’ve been feeding our little men. They’ve been on a rotation of the following for at least a month now: cheese sandwiches, grilled cheese sandwiches, hummus sandwiches, cheese spread with veggies sandwiches, Hebrew National Low Fat All Beef hotdogs with ketchup or mustard (they’ve [...]
Such a cool age
Things that our twins do that excite me with joy because it means they are learning about their environment:
Forest loves to close doors. If you say, “close the door”, he rushes over to do it.
Logan loves to tickle and says it so cute. Thanks to “Are You Ticklish”, a fantastic buy at Costco [...]
Book Rotation
The guys now have three books in their “favorite” rotation. All three must be kept on a very high shelf to prevent damage and protect them from teething (Logan has shredded many a book’s spine with his teeth). So when it’s nap or bedtime and we say, “time for a story” and they [...]
Where oh where
I am happy to report that the newly revised nap schedule is working like a charm. We have our happy sleepers back. We celebrated this along with some 80 degree sunshine this weekend with a trip to the park and playing in the front yard. It’s so cool to watch the boys [...]
blankets, for Pat
One of my dear friends made the boys the cutest fleece Winnie the Pooh blankets as a shower gift. They are cute and soft and the perfect size for little guys. Well, in the past few weeks I’ve gotten them out again to help ward off the cold and the boys have decided [...]
Hygiene Hypothesis
A friend pointed out this interesting article today that I thought I would share. It’s not like I’m not hygienic but I’m also not super worried when the boys eat dirt, put an occasional shoe in the mouth or otherwise do something “gross”. I don’t encourage that behavior and I stop it when [...]
Good Stuff
This picture wasn’t taken today but it’s a really good image of how our day has been… AWESOME. The boys are back to happy again after the Nap Transition v2.2 implementation. And yes, it really is this much fun (most of the time) being the mother of 13 month old twin boys. [...]
The Nap Transition v2.2
When I started this transition earlier in the week, I knew that it would be a process of figuring out what works. The first two days the boys made it staying up until 11 but then only napped for an hour and a half. This made for some grumpy babies by mid afternoon, [...]
Blockhead
Forest is really into stacking blocks and has gotten really good at it. Of course I don’t have the photos of some of his 6 block high masterpieces but here are a few of some of his smaller achievements. He is so proud of himself with each block that he bursts into giggles [...]
