The sisters are growing up to be sassy little opinionated ladies. They say please and thank you, but not without an eye roll… no joke. They love to ‘help’ with everything. I’m happy to hand over the laundry to them. They sort all our clothes into darks, lights, and brights. They fill the washer, and let me know when it’s ready for soap. Then when the wash cycle is done, the switch all the laundry to the dryer and repeat. It’s glorious.
Their other favorite thing is painting… I wonder where they get that from? At least once a day, I spread out the vinyl table cloth, roll up their sleeves and hand them some chip brushes, washable paint, and paper. They could sit for hours and paint.
They’re getting more compliant when it comes to obeying, and we haven’t had anymore 4-hour time-outs recently. However this hilarious flowchart rings so true for this lovely age of 2 1/2.
It occurred to me that’s it’s been awhile since we’ve done a camera-dump of the girls!

We just love these little girls to pieces, and are soaking up this adorable stage they’re in.

The girls are stunning. Thank you for sharing them with us. This book is one of my favorites, too, although my boys (4 and 19 months) won’t sit still for it. They’ll jump off my lap in favor of some loud dinosaur or fire truck, and I refuse to stop reading it, so I’ll find myself sort of shouting “I am your calm face, you are my WILD” from the other end of the room. I remember wanting to freeze time at 2. Then at 3. Now I want to freeze it at 4. Every age is so magical and so fleeting.
My heart is adequately melted. It’s adorable to see them paint. And I can’t believe they are helping with laundry. What big girls! Weren’t they just babies getting weekly photos in the orange chair??
What a lovely way to celebrate your twin girls. I’m sure you go to bed bone tired, but I’m also sure you are having so much fun with them. You’ll have fun with them until they go off to college.
Some nights I am definitely tired and breath a sign of relieve when they’re successfully tucked in. But they’re such good girls and we have so much fun with them. I hope we get two again next time! 🙂
I love that book, ‘You are my I love you’! I remember crying reading it to a little kid I was babysitting, and just loving that one day I would read it to my own littles. Now I’m way closer to having babies (I’m only 24, but hopefully in the next few years), and I love watching your little girls grow! 🙂
You will love being a mommy!
