Growing up, I had always been one of those people who wanted to work for themselves at home. Being my own boss, never having to explain myself to anyone, getting away with wearing pj's to work…
Is he getting enough one to one attention (was I mad, of course he was!)
Would he be behind at school because I wasn’t taking him to enough baby classes?
One of the things we decided to do while we were off, was potty train twin 2 Emilia. Now, for those of you who don’t know Emilia, let me paint a little picture. The only way I can describe her is think of the little boy in the Disney film “The Good Dinosaur”; Spot. She is primitive, not afraid of anything (except bugs), wild, tough, and speaks in only grunts and growls. Literally like she is still living in cave man times. She hates being told what to do and hates being told off. So as you can imagine potty training is going to be fuuunnn!!
…I think the saying “you don’t know what its like, until you have twins” is quite apt, I am not saying that just because I have two babies to your one makes my life any harder. But, what I am saying is that it does become slightly more challenging. Sometimes I’m not even sure if I am doing my job properly because I don’t feel like I can give 2 children who are at exactly the same point in their lives the attention that they deserve. But, then equally I was worried I wasn’t giving my eldest the attention he deserves.
The last thing I remember before leaving for the hospital was hearing my sons tiny little voice from the top of the stairs (we didn’t know he was awake, as we wanted to keep it as normal as we could for him) saying “have you had the babies mummy”. He all of a sudden seemed so grown up, and life as he knew it was about to change, in fact everyone’s was.
Most people, myself included take to the high street when they want something.. gauge a range of prices and then eventually settle on something and shop online..
But what are YOUR reasons to shop with the brands that you choose?
If only twins were born clutching onto their very own guide book! A unique one for each, as I may have needed one this week...
Being a mum of 3 is great - if not slightly challenging! I’ve found twin girls can be incredibly possessive when it comes to food, toys, cats, sand, mud… just about anything. Throw a 5 year old boy in the mix, and most days can end up like 5 rounds at UFC! Over these past three years, I’ve definitely felt my inner Lynette Scavo come out… before the college admissions scandal…
How is everyone finding the home schooling?
I can’t even remember what week we are on now (is that bad). I’m taking it as a sign we are all enjoying it so much!
