Oh my goodness. The younger twins are turning 3 this month. I’m so happy and proud of them.
A part of me is sad each time they get better at saying a word, or speaking in a full sentence with no words missing in between.
The older kids are sad too. They want them to stay babies forever. I think only hubby is happy to get past this stage. The boy has said he wished we could have more babies because “these ones are getting big”. Ha ha.
Me and the kids have an agreement to NOT correct the baby talk. They say thanken instead of thank you, but slowly they correct themselves and slowly but surely the little bit of babyness left is gone.
I still go to their beds at night. All grown up now in the bottom bunk beds of their sister’s room. Sleeping all night, on their own, instead of next to me. Sigh. I take a whiff of their hair, kiss their little hands, sniff their little growing baby feet. And thank God they are healthy. All of them. My five little miracles.
Oh shoot. I need to plan their birthday party! Here we go again.
