Twins are Not Fun! (see previous post :) )

So, while there are moments that are hugely fun let's keep it real. There are moments that are a little less charming.

  • two little people going to bed at the same time makes for a bit more fool around time = noisey when peace and quiet is preferred

  • two little people in a cupboard full of pullups still makes for the same kind of mess as months ago = annoying

  • two little people wanting to cuddle in your lap at the same time and having a very hard time sharing because of tiredness = muscle building

  • two little people getting toilet trained, even if one after the other, makes for long drawn out toilet training. Today Mom, while on baby #2, forgot son was in "yightning mkeen" (or Lightning McQueen) underwear and he peed a puddle on the carpet she spent hours steam cleaning yesterday. Seeing that it is completely accidental and unintended there's no point or call for letting off a bit of steam by giving a speech about the preciousness of mom's time and labor. Recommended tension release is getting a rag and scrubbing said puddle = frustrating and frazzling

  • two little people trying to play with the same toys makes for some scrapping that has to be dealt with asap = sometimes tiring.

But really, that is a pretty small part.
