I'll explain ... here are some of the highlights of being a twin mom:
- When we took the boys for a swim lesson, we tried to blitz and change them next to the pool (the other parents did). Lisa got Cole swiftly into his waterproof diaper / swim suit and tossed his wet diaper. I pulled Wilson's diaper off not thinking a thing and looked down to see my hand was full of poop. Yep, good 'ol #2. I didn't want to be "that nasty mom" by the pool, so I discretely put it back into the diaper (the boys are on solids - if you're a parent, this is all you need to know), wiped down Wilson, wiped myself, pre-rinsed, and jumped in the pool.
- Sometimes I go days without washing my hair - this wouldn't be gross if the boys didn't wipe their spit-up on my face and in my hair. Who knows, with all these crazy beauty products, maybe someday this'll be one of them.
- When I'm giving the boys their snack, I sometimes take a few melta-ways (think Cheerios for babies). I can't help it - they're delicious.
- The boys LOVE naked time. When I get home from work I often strip them down and let them lay on the blanket in their room. A few times the boys have wee'd on the rug - I blotted it up, but between dinner time, bath time, story time, and bed time, I neglected to do a serious rug clean. Oh well, our building just got sold so maybe we'll be out of here soon anyhow ... so bad.
- Sometimes, at 5am when the boys are howling from a bad dream, or just want to play early, I bring them into bed. Matt says (and he's right) I need to let them self-soothe, but I always assure him that they will only learn that with cuddle time. Makes no sense, I know, but I love early morning baby cuddles.
