In the past few weeks, we've seen a milestone; words strung together into rudimentary sentences. "I do", "I potty", and "More fruit", for example. "Wow, a 20-month old learning to speak, how shocking" part of my brain sarcasms, yet the phrases still strike like thunderbolts. Other skills that continue to be honed include eating:
Playing
And....uh.....well whatever this is.
As mentioned, yes, the concept of potty is slowly coming into focus as well, mostly with Kayla so far. Again, am I surprised that one day soon my daughters will be at least partially responsible for personal hygiene? Of course not, but still, the idea seems so alien it might as well destroy the White House. We've also seem to have made an effort to reach the Terrible 2's a bit ahead of schedule, as of late. Nothing serious so far, but definitely some boundary testing. People often ask, "How do you handle twins?", but I never have an answer because, the truth is, it's not that big of a deal. Changing two diapers instead of one isn't that much more work, feeding two girls is as easy as one, watching over them isn't inherently more difficult (so long as you can keep them relatively corralled). We have of course been incredibly fortunate to have well tempered girls, who sleep well, have taken to schedules easily, and in general are just happy to be. Like I say, no big deal; or at least it hasn't been up until now. Ask me how we do it again in a couple years, I have a feeling I may finally have some answers.
