That "THING" between Twins

Wow! It has been over 2 years since I have posted here. I think it is time to get back to blogging about my sweet babies. Well, not really babies anymore - they are 3! I forgot all about this and sadly about all of the other moms I was following. I have since found that several of the MOM's have had heartbreak whether it be from the loss of a child, a grim diagnosis or a divorce. I can only imagine how hard the loss of a multiple must be. I see my twins interact with eachother during just about every waking minute. Their emotions range from love, anger, jealousy & comfort (just to name a few) multiple times during the day. When they get in bed at night there is always that "goodnight and I love you with all my heart" feeling I get from them that is between them. I know they love eachother very much despite the hitting, biting, hair-pulling and name calling. Last night Billy and I had taken 2 vehicles to dinner at Alejandro's. We had met up at Dakota's BB practice after work. Brady decided to ride home with Billy and Cheyenne & Dakota were with me. Cheyenne was completely unaware of this until I started backing up my vehicle. She absolutely lost it. I was already figuring on a melt-down because SHE wasn't riding with her daddy in his truck. She surprised me. She wanted her brother. Through her tears and crying I could make out the words "my brother". When she finally settled down a bit she was saying "I want my brother. I want my Brady. I want him to go home with me." Not a single word about riding with daddy. She was still upset when we arrived home because her brother was not home yet. Billy and Brady had stopped at the bank to grab some cash. As soon as Cheyenne heard her daddy's truck she ran out of the bedroom hollering "Brady!". She was happy! After a 5 minute fight about who got to sit in which car seat at 8 o'clock in the morning and the child that did not get their way screaming all the way to school I figured it was just going to be one of those days you want to put behind you and forget about forever. I realized just how special this "thing" is that twins have. Yesterday turned into one of the days I will never forget.

Time? What time?

So I am finding it VERY difficult to have time to sit and write about the twins daily happenings. Oh if only I could do it from my phone. Of course I decided to get a "texting" phone instead of something more useful. Can you picture me kicking myself in the ass now? And borrowing Billy's phone is out of the question - you will have to ask him about that - good luck. If you notice the letter D missing from words where there should be one it is because the D key is not always cooperative on the laptop. I don't always catch it.
So in between diaper changes, chauffering, cooking, laundry and cleaning (if you can call it that) I will try to add stuff. There are only 2 of you reading this so between facebook and email you probably know whats going on anyways.
Later!

Twins Check-up

Brady & Cheyenne had a great 15 month check-up today. Brady weighed in at 26.9 lbs which is less than a 1lb gain from his 12 month check-up. He grew another 1/2 inch making him 32.5 inches now. Woohoo! This puts him heavier than 87% and taller than 95% of other boys his age. Cheyenne weighed in at 23.3 lbs which is a 2 lb gain from her 12 month check-up. She grew another 1 1/2 inches making her 31.5 inches now. Woohoo again!!! She is heavier than 70% and taller than 93% of other girls her age.
Brady got a referral to Scottish Rite for his torticollis. While he no longer needs his helmet for the flat spot caused by the torticollis the torticollis itself is still causing his head to tilt to one side.
Yesterday the twins had a great time playing outside. They were running around in the grass and eventually made their way into the flower bed.
Billy is on vacation this week. I am sure the twins will really enjoy getting to spend so much time with daddy.
We have a busy end of the week. My ex-in-laws will be visiting from the 14th to the 26th. It's funny because they have seen all 4 kids more than a majority of both Billy & my families.
Not much else new. I am sure the week will bring plenty of excitement. It always does!

Testing.............

This is just a test to see if anyone is actually going to view blog about the twins and if it's complicated or not.
