two toddlers, twice the fun

    So My little Bethany is not so much a baby anymore... she has her first tooth, she is walking, climbing, talking (hi), wrestling with her sister, helping put away toys during clean up, displaying her emotions... she is becoming her own little person so fast! Esther was over a year old when she started reaching most of these milestones.  It's so exciting to watch the two of them develop a relationship.  They clash at times, but for the most part they get along like two peas in a pod.  They jump on the couch together, read books together, terrorize the cat and dog together... It is keeping me busy that's for sure! But I still love every moment of it! Even in the frustrating moments... I take a deep breath and look at the positive; Yes Esther got out all my Stampin up stamps, but she was busy telling me what each of them were! And its annoying when Bethany finds the computer button and shuts it down, or even worse the power strip switch and turns all the electronics off, or yes its annoying that I can't play my guitar without Bethany trying to strum the strings, but she loves the music, and is learning to appreciate it early on.  Or the fact that as I was writing that last sentence, Bethany was climbing the stairs and I had to run to get the baby gate up... or as I was writing that she managed to get my guitar to fall on top of her and I had to rescue her... lol!
  Oh they keep you on your toes alright!
