“There’s an eagle up there”
Theodore and Jacqueline have both been coughing and congested for a week or so now. So I have gone through dozens of tissues, blown noses, wipes, and the charade of mixing it up to keep them remotely interested in getting their sore noses cleaned up. Today it was my precious little boy who showed his warm, soft way about him. After I had him in my arms, I cleaned his nose as he blew. So, I used Continue Reading...
“That’s my receipt”
I found an old receipt and picked it up off of the end table. I held it up and asked the following. Me: Can someone please throw this away for daddy? Theodore: (without looking up, or pausing from his activity) Nope. Jacqueline: Mmmm hmmm. (Without looking at me or the receipt in my hand) Me: Thank you. Jacqueline: Wait! That's my receipt. Throw it away aaaafffftttteeeerrrr. Me: That's your Continue Reading...
Here you go worker
After a morning visit to My Gym in Bedford, the twins and I came home for two hours of outdoor time before attempting naps. I raked leaves and gathered wood while the twins ran around and played. Jacqueline, doing her best Snow White, was heard exclaiming, "I don't get killed, I don't get killed!" Theodore was running too, yelling, "Sister, don't get killed!" Apparently the wicked queen's huntsman Continue Reading...
Twin photo request
The twins, inspired by the earlier photos of the deer, wanted to get in on the fun as well. Jacqueline asked me to take her picture, while Theodore had no interest in moving from his play spot. Jacqueline went around the corner, to get out of my line of vision, so she could remove her pajamas. She reappeared with this lovely ensemble that she picked out herself. She then asked if I could take her Continue Reading...
My little sponges
My little sponges Jacqueline and Theodore while playing in the family room this morning, were carrying on as if completely alone. First, Jacqueline, while carrying a stuffed animal dog, was babbling lyrics. In this order, speaking, not singing, while holding the dog, and working around the play kitchen. Followed by some random interactions this morning. Little town Quiet village Everyday The Continue Reading...
Ready to go
Theodore and Jacqueline (29 months) are ready to take a ride with dad. They were excited to go, and possibly more excited to have their pictures taken. We were just headed out to run a few errands. Continue Reading...
The twins play at the airport
Every once in a while the twins will ask me if we can go to the airport. It’s only a 20 minute ride at the most. We do visit quite a bit and we’ve found two spots we frequent most. These spots offer the twins a chance to see the planes, hear the noises, feel the breezes, but most importantly, run around and play. So earlier this week we made another short ride to the airport (MHT). It started as a Continue Reading...
I want cheese
So the twins (almost 2 1/2 yrs old) wanted toast this morning. They each grabbed a piece of bread and brought it to me. In a moment they changed their request and asked for sandwiches instead. Me: do you want a sandwich? Jacqueline: I want cheese Me: honey, we have no cheese (while checking the fridge) Jacqueline: cheese in the other fridge? Me: honey we don't keep cheese out there Jacqueline: Continue Reading...
I want to play hide and seek
After a couple of loud yells of "Daddy, Daddy, Daddy!" coming from Jacqueline in the bathroom, I opened the door. She was sitting on the little Lightning McQueen potty, and greeted me with a smile. Once again, as if she didn't have my undivided attention already, she repeated, getting incrementally more quiet, "Daddy, Daddy, Daddy!". I responded, "Yes honey, what do you need?" Then, in a way only Continue Reading...
