Motherly Instincts

Dear Twins,

I am not sure which one of you I am more impressed with:

Tillie's ability at just under 3 to seemingly be able to be the world's best "stay at home mom"....

You nurse...every 3 hours, if not more (and I swear to God, You probably actually do get up to nurse in the night).

You vacuum- while nursing a baby, in heels and carrying another in its infant seat, strapped in properly.

You take your babies in the little tikes red cozy coup to multiple appointments, play-dates and the park everyday...but only after you have put sunscreen on them. (Real human sunscreen)

You help me fold and put away laundry.

When you see a mess you clean it up.

You could probably cook a freaking amazing supper too, I don't know, I have yet to let you try it.

OR

Georgia's resourcefulness when I told her she could absolutely not give her baby a bath in the sink because she was getting ready to leave with my mom and I didn't want her to get soaked.  

Yep, she is bathing the baby in the toilet...

Your twin sister probably would have called Child Protective Services regarding your "parenting" style, but I LOVE how you think on your feet!

Love, 

Mommy

Nursing is hard work...we have all fallen asleep doing it...even my 2 year old

Dear Tillie and Georgia,

ROUGH week for the two of you.  Per usual these days I guess.  I wish (and then again not) that someone could follow me around with a video camera so I could see exactly how ridiculous I often look as your parent, trying to get a hold of the two of you and all your DRAMA!  

I'm not sure if I would laugh or cry at what I saw...I suppose both.

Don't ask me why I am sharing this story, I really don't know.   It is either about to make a few moms feel more normal or way better about themselves.  

Yesterday after bathtime Tillie was mad that Theo and May got to go to the neighbors to play.  I was under the impression that Daddy had the girls and he was assuming that I had you.  Long story short, Daddy got a call from the neighbor saying "There's a cute blonde running down the street naked and its not your wife this time (umm what?!)."  Anyway, Michael went out the door and was pleasantly surprise to see Tillie being walked home by another neighbor completely naked, except for her shoes.  She remembered to put on her shoes.

Here is one for you, Georgia...happened on the same day.

YOU WONT GO TO SLEEP AT NIGHT! Last night I was at a meeting.  Obviously Dad was a little fed up given the incident above which happened right before I left.  As you cried for me, Dad decided to record you on his phone and then send it to me to make me feel bad and come home...(HA, never...well I guess maybe for Liza :) )  As it turns out,  When he listened to it (while you were still screaming for me) you ended up calming down and eventually falling asleep- yes, you fell asleep to the recorded sound of your own crying and yelling for your mom.  That is a new low we have hit, and also apparently a new trick we have now discovered in trying to calm Georgia down.

Yesterday was a day.  There are more stories from yesterday.  Thankfully today, you are both being adorable.  Deep breaths!

I Love you girls!

Love,

Mommy

Dont judge for the typos in this...sorry!
