With all of the busy non-stop go world of twins (okay nap time is still allowing for some mommy time) I sometimes notice fun mom things I get to do these days:
1. I pick my child's nose at the store and think nothing of it (she has a cold and she had to breathe).
2. I talk to both my kiddos while grocery shopping like they actually have a clue what I'm saying.
3. I talk to myself...apparently it helps keep my sanity.
4. I don't notice #3 so much until I'm with Jeff's family and they point it out.
5. I make up some pretty great kids songs on the fly...my favorite "I Like To Be Held By Mommy" (I'm thinking I should sign a record deal HAHA)
6. My idea of being productive means I got a shower in today and if I'm lucky did some laundry too before they woke up.
7. I reorganize the front room just to have some variety in life
8. I have children's books but sometimes I read my own books out loud to the girls just so I can fit it in
9. Jeff and I are so excited that for the last 4 nights the girls have slept for a four hour chunk...it's the most solid sleep we have had in over two months.
And best of all...
10. Jeff and I have both had "sleep burpings", "sleep feeding" and general "sleep parenting". This is where we have woken up in the middle of the night trying to feed, burp or tend to children that are sleeping in their cribs. I have woken up to Jeff patting me and trying to burp me. Then another night it was him sitting up turning around and trying to feed an invisible child. In general when I "sleep parent" it is simply waking up and searching the bed cause I could swear we fell asleep with them in it (this has never actually happened).
The joys of parenting :) Really it is all fun (okay most of it is fun) but totally life changing of course.
