Last Friday we had a playdate with Gus and Alex, the adorable two-year old boy/girl twins of our friend Natasha. They were amazing -- so bright and active, and so sweet to the babies! Jack & Aidan were totally enthralled, and were very interested in playing with whatever the big kids played with. And it's such a relief to get a chance to talk with another mom of twins. Natasha can truly relate to the stresses of caring for two little ones at the same time with different temperments, needs, wants and development/sleep schedules -- it's not just double the work of one baby! She's an amazing mom who has also stayed home with the children -- her patience and enthusiasm have obviously paid off so far: Alex & Gus are stellar toddlers, and we hope they come back to play soon!
Jack & Aidan are getting so big!
ReplyDeleteAnd you hit the nail on the head - raising twins is not just double the work of one baby. There is much more to it than that!
