Two Two's Up To

What have the twins been up to lately? Here is a little bit about what has been going on.

Playing "train" with baby Luke.

Sorting some colorful tiddly-winks.

Making some delicious ants on a log.

Making an omelet--on the floor.

Cookin up some delicious pizza.

Taking naps (rarely).

Helping mama cook with the new little chef's aprons she made us.

Putting food coloring on the office carpet--much to mamma and daddy's dismay.

Doing a gluing activity.

Finally going to sleep after a long day (for mommy).

This past month I have been doing a lot with Cameron and Dallin in the way of teaching. It has been fun to get ideas off the web and use them with the twins. Here is a link for a fun website to make activity bags for kids. http://belladia.typepad.com/crafty_crow/2008/06/toddler-activit.html

One the best things that I have come up with in a while is "twin time," or "brother time." Since they aren't taking naps regularly anymore there comes a time when I just need a 30 minute break from things, so when Luke goes down for his afternoon nap, I will pull out some toys they haven't seen in a while and they will play with them in their room and enjoy their best friend. Their door is open and I can hear them the whole time, but I have a minute to check email or read a chapter in my book. Fabulous!!!

Also, their Christmas present to us was that they are now completely potty trained! They still have accidents now and then, but it is AMAZING! I am so happy to be done changing two two-year-old's poopy diapers.
