The Joy of Twins

As my girls get older I have been thinking about the wonderful and not-so-wonderful things about having twins. Someday I might want to look back on the list of both of these and laugh.

So I will start with my list of WONDERFUL things about being a Mommy to twins:

- We get lots of extra attention everywhere we go. That sounds vain but I love the opportunity to meet new people and talk to people I would never have talked to.
- I get to be in this elusive, exclusive MOM (Mom of Mulitples) club.
- I get to watch these little girls love each other in a way I cannot explain.
- No one can comfort a twin like their own twin.
- Two Smiles every morning
- Twice the laughs when I am silly
- People tend to remember us in restaurants, store, doctors offices etc. When people remember you you get better service.
- Two heads are always better than one. :>)
- Babies get a real charge out of each other.
- Watching the bond that twins have is an amazing experience. Nothing can compare with that bond they share.
- It is awesome to get to compare personalities, likes and dislikes and general disposition. Most people can see how different their children are but we REALLY get to see the differences.
- People often think that twins can lose their sense of identity by being a unit, but I think it makes them even more unique.
- Old people love to stop and chat with us about our twins. It is wonderful to make their day with a couple of baby smiles.
- When we visit with family there is a lot less fighting about who gets to hold a baby. There is enough to go around.

- Four eyes, two smiles, two tummies, two noses, four hands to hold, 20 fingers and 20 toes... what else can I say!
