Testimonies From the Twin Trenches

I can't say it any better, so here's a brief by Cheryl Lage (from twinstuff.com)

Invariably, when out and about with my two-year-old twins, a compassionate (and maybe just a wee bit nosey) stranger asks, “How in the world do you do it ?”

The fun part for me? Deciphering to which “ it ” of the perceived twin-raising challenges the curious bystander is referring.

Is “ it “ the dually-provoked sleep deprivation of the first few weeks? [She was lucky if it was only a FEW weeks!]
Is “ it “ the inevitable division of Mommy’s energy between two fully dependent infants/toddlers? Or is “ it “ simply the day-to-day, down and dirty rigors of juggling a double stroller, two carseats, a packed-to-the-gills diaper bag, and two sets of distinct needs?

The truth? “It” doesn’t get any dirtier or more rigorous than potty training twins.

Here are a few pics from "the Twin Trenches"!!! You can imagine the sound effects that go with each!

On the bright side, Mila has gone several days with no accidents!

I'll close with this, as I remind myself each day..."Better to have your hands full than empty!"
