A Few Life Lessons from Twin Toddlers


Here are a few facts of life that Ella and Aidan have taught us since they exited the infancy stage:
* Whatever is on our plate is better than what is on theirs - even if it is the exact same thing.
* If we are on the floor, we should be climbed upon.
* If your nose is running, the couch is a good place to wipe it.
* If you want them to run away from you, ask them if they need a diaper change.
* Their own smell from a dirty diaper does NOT bother them AT ALL.
* Anything that they can reach is theirs.
* The toilet is a water table.
* Pooping in the tub is fun - it makes Mom move REALLY fast!
* If you spill cheerios on the floor, they make a lovely crunching sound when you dance on them.
* Diapers make wonderful hats.
* When in the library waiting for story time to begin, the best way to make Mom completely frantic is to either A) take off down the aisles of books, thus forcing her to leave Ella behind and come chasing after you as you giggle loudly to yourself, or B) Scream as loud as you can (preferably in your brother’s ear), thus making everyone stare and sigh in relief as the door closes behind us on our way out.
