yeah, I am swamped here. It's not even that I have so much running to do with the older boys. Its just that I do not get anything accomplished when I am alone with the twins. Greenbean is VERY insistent about gettng my attention and loses his temper quickly and dramatically. So even just making a few phone calls is so hard. And if I don't give him my full attention immediately, he starts hitting Sisi. They are both in the terrible 2s full blast right now. Even the older boys do their best to avoid the ttwins. Whenever one of the twins wants something they are playing with, Gator and cha cha just say, "take it" and walk away. They know they'll get clobbered if they don't. And I do give time outs but if I gave them each one every time they deserved it, I'd never get ANYTHING done because they still don't sit still in time out. I have to hold them on my lap.
I dont think too many of my issues with Greenbean and Sisi are a twins thing. I think Greenbean in particular just going through something right now that i can't figure out. I usually post in the multiples forum when I have a twin-related issue.
It's weird how peaceful the house is when the twins are napping every afternoon. The boys and I play board games and have a great time. Thank GOD for those cribtents!!!!
Lori, I'm saying prayers for your mom. I've been where you are now and it's stressful and scary. Lots of prayers going to you and your mom.
