Twins and Drinking Milk in the Evening

At almost two, and ready to begin potty training, this is probably the right time to reduce their milk intake in the evenings.

By the ages 17-20 months, babies, not just twins, should be able to "hold" their pee pee all night. That is, their bladder muscles are becoming stronger and able to go all night without as much as a drop of pee in their diapers.

If your twins wake in the morning and you change their diapers only to find out they are dry, thi is your indication they are getting ready use night diapers.

But, like I stated in a previous post, I would wait to fully potty train them when they can speak our lanuage and or communicate their rediness.

Today, in the backyard, after lunch, I was changing their diapers when I just thought to myself, "Self, let them just run around in the backyard bare bottom." So, they did and when they began to pee, as I was hoping they would, they began to cry and get fussy.

But hey, that is why I let them run around bare bottomed.

Also, Twin "A" has a nasty rash in her pee pee area because she is teething still and those molars are no fun I can guarantee you that much!

Anway!! Back to the milk. Just remember that when they reach the ages of 17-20 months, this is probably a good time to limit their milk intake at night. Otherwise, how will you know if their bladder muscles are getting stronger?

When Your Twins Are Helpful Around the Home

Well,

Today, we were all up at 8ish, Mommy took a shower, they girls were fed, Daddy took a shower and off to work!

Then, Mommy, with help from Twins "A&E", loaded the washer with soap, softener and dark clothes. After that, they played around me with the dining room chairs, moving them around, taking Daddy's bills off the dining room table, and chewing on the bills.

I left the bills on the floor so Daddy could see his sweeties handiwork so to speak! LOL

This morning, I did all this before noon! How amazing your day can be when getting up at the crack of dawn, or close to it, one is able to actually get housework done!

What a concept! Who thought of this idea?

So this morning, I was able to wash darks, lights and our bed sheets. Along with folding them too.

Our home was already 80 degrees by 11:30 so I had to turn the A/C on.

Unbelievable!! I bet it will reach the century mark today in my city.

How about your city?

As the morning turned into the afternoon, Twins "A&E" began getting fussy.

So, I asked, "Twin "A", are you sleepy?" I was holding her and she had her juice cup and blankie, with corner in her right eye saying nothing. With that I assumed she was sleepy and put her in her crib. I also picked up Twin "B" and asked her the same thing. She was just fussy and I too assumed she was tired and put her in her crib as well.

I was hoping to have them stay up until 12 or 1, but no, again, they made a liar out of Mommy and Daddy.

Just when you think their schedule will not change.......IT DOES!!!

So Mommies of Twins, be prepared and forwarned....

You pretty much are a slave to your sweet twins until they can talk and do more things on their own.

But indeed you are blessed.

Have a Blessed Day!!

Monday Memories with My Twins

Today, we actually all got up early, like normal people, fed the twins, I took a shower while Daddy fed the twins. Then, Twins "A&E" and I played outside a bit, came in, got them dresses, Daddy took a shower, then went to work.

Then, I put them in their crib for probably 20 minutes because the fussies were coming out. That gave me time to relax on my chaise lounge and get a bit of sun and pray to my Jesus.

Once I heard the girls getting up, I started the truck, brought it out to the driveway, went to the girls room and got them out of their cribs and allowed themselves to hop into the truck as the love to do. Once they are inside, I snap their seatbelts around them, get myself snapped into and off we went to the grocery store so I could get cash for all the coins that had accumulated over the years.

Well, usually, I take all the silver coins and put them in my car. But we had so many pennies!
I got $38. and change. Not too bad...

While at the grocery store, I ran into one of my Mom of Twins friends who was counting cigarettes with a scanner. She works for this company where she goes from one particular grocery store to another and counts what is left in that particular product.

I need to ask her if there are any openings left.

Right now, I am hoping to get a homescan from a certain company where I can scan products from my home on purchases I make.

Well, from the grocery store, we went to the mall to look for a white button down shirt for Daddy to wear when we take photographs this mont in HB.

After that, we came home, Daddy was home for lunch, and fed the girls, but then down for a nap, still napping, and I went to the bank, came home, and paid some bills.

Oh, I also completed some online surveys.

Today,the gardeners should be here too.

It is nice actually getting up at a normal time like regular people do.

That always works when you go to bed at a normal time too!

When the Twins are seperated

Today,

Daddy and Mommy took a baby out and about town, separately.

I took Twin "B" to World Market, Tar'get and Walmart. She was talking up a storm, well, baby talk, and smiling like crazy. Everywere we went, she got a smile from someone and we ran into a friend on mine when we worked together at HRBMC in Pleasanton. She has a sweet little girl who will be 22 months this month.

I suggested we have a playdate, I can come to her home if she wants me to.

Then, we went home and Twin "B" ate lunch, played on the Kangaroo Climber for a while then went down for a nap with sister.

Daddy, took Twin "A" to the grocery store to get more pear juice, lettuce and meats for us for our dinners. Oh, Daddy also got more fruits for our sweetie pies.

When Daddy got home, he fed Twin "A" and called me on cell to see if we were close to home so Twin "B" could eat some yummies.

Daddy and Mommy love taking our sweeties out seperately because they need it. They need to know they are not connected at the hip and can have fun with Daddy or Mommy on their own with no competition.

And no, I did not hear about doing this from anyone or any website, this was my decision to do this because I could see one day, Twin "B" felt she was not getting enough attention from Mommy.
