We're probably doing it wrong.
Here's all the stuff M and E have been up to in 2017 as four year olds and the first month of five. I read over the Four post and a lot of their behaviors and stuff is still the same. These boys are kids now. Not toddlers or little preschoolers anymore. They have lost... Continue Reading →
We have four year olds! Big, giant, articulate four year olds. Who give spontaneous hugs and kisses, who fall to the floor yelling about not enough cheerios in their snacky cup, who scale couches and counters, who can entertain themselves and each other, who sometimes share nicely and who sometimes fight like dogs over jammies...

The boys are 3 1/2! And man, we are definitely living with three-year-olds. (Though M says, "I'm thirty-five," because that's how much he weighs.) There are a lot of tantrums--most of them are about food, and most of them are when the boys are tired and/or hungry. Sometimes they're both having a tantrum at the... Continue Reading →
Dear sweet babies who are now most definitely not babies, You are THREE!! Three years old! I can't believe it. You are self-described "big kids" now. The six months between 2.5 and 3 were the most fun yet, I think. You love learning and doing things, and it's making life a lot more interesting and... Continue Reading →
I think one of the best things about having toddlers is hearing their little voices, the cute ways they have of speaking, their quirks as they learn to talk. And having twin toddlers means that we get to hear them actually talk to each other--our boys totally have conversations! It's adorable and awesome and we're... Continue Reading →
Our sweet boys are 2.5! I'm not sure if much has 'changed' since they turned two, but they've definitely grown--physically, socially, developmentally. They're still a lot of fun (and a total handful sometimes, too, of course). Right now, if I had to guess their future occupations based on their current favorites, I think M would...

I promised myself (and mentally promised any readers) that I wouldn't keep doing these monthly updates. And I don't plan to! But this past month-ish after their birthday has still been really interesting and I didn't want to forget anything. I'm not going to take monthly photos anymore either, but will try to do the...

Dear sweet babies, Ok ok, you are now officially, definitely, not babies anymore. You are TWO! I am trying not to refer to you as babies as much, at least not in public. I guess I have to just call you 'boys' or 'kids' now. Sniff. E, you are 34.5 inches tall and you weight... Continue Reading →
Dear sweet babies, Twenty-three months old! Ack! You're getting so big, and capable, and interesting. Here's what you did and learned as 22 month olds. This month has been the last of the beautiful fall weather! We've been doing lots of outings and walks to let you burn off energy outdoors. We're already a little... Continue Reading →
Dear sweet babies, You are 21 months old! You are getting more independent and opinionated--learning and growing and figuring out. There are definitely more tantrums lately...mornings can be tough sometimes. Actually so can evenings. You have so many things you want to do and when you can't do them, you get very upset. But...

We Have Twins?!
