The kids were playing yesterday morning. This is Emma treating Eliza like a baby. Eliza was living it up. Thought it was great watching TV and relaxing in her own little seat. Lane & Olivia would bring Eliza bowls and silverware with pretend food in it for "the baby". Olivia was the first baby in it. She stayed in there for an hour. Then they started fighting over it, which is no big surprise. The surprise was that it took that long before they did fight over it. I can't count how many times in one day that I say, "Quit screaming" or "Stop that right now" or "Don't call your brother/sister stupid, it's not nice" or "Don't pinch your brother/sister" etc... I have these 4 that are the main stay and then a couple of extras that I say through out the day. I get tired of it, especially the screaming. I could deal fine with everything else but the screaming grates on my nerves... It's like nails on a chalk board.
And then I have MOMENTS just moments of peace and quiet and getting along like this that make it worth it. Or like last night we were watching a movie together as a family and Eliza came over to lay down by me and she put her arms around my head and whispered, "Mom, you my best frwend" and had a really big smile on her face. It was sooooooo sweet. Again those moments that make everything worth it.

Melissa,
Thanks for taking the time to stop by my blog, and most importantly, comment. I LOVE comments and really welcome them. I'm glad to know that my twins aren't unusually busy! Tell me it gets better? j/k
Oh I ca SO relate to the moments! :D
today I'm having trouble getting ALL of the letters for my words to type ... I swear that I DO push them all! :-)
Yup all worth it - like when Alana smiled at me for the first time (after all the screaming and crying and never sleeping... you understand)
