-I have twins that are 2 3/4. It's SO fun I think everyone should have twins. But, I learn so much from them.
-C get SO excited about the littlest things. Remember that everything can and should be exciting. Life is such a gift.
-He also throws tantrums which is fine and totally normal for that age, I take him in his room so he can freak out there. When he's still crying he yells, "I want to hold you." When I'm doing a good job I'll hold him and he will be done with his fit in a few minutes. When I'm not thinking good thoughts about him I'll get angry and the whole thing will last much longer. Remember to relax and hold him. He won't want to be held much longer.
-The other morning one of them wanted something. I said I was busy (doing I can't remember) he responded, "no your not busy." I need to stop and look at him and help him and enjoy them!
-One always wants daddy, probably because he's much nicer than I am. Be kind and talk in a kind voice.
-C started to whine about something and I said, "we're not doing this right now." he said, "ya we are doing this right now." If he wants to throw a tantrum that's ok. I don't have to mirror his emotion. I just need to say to myself he's supposed to act this way he's two!
-Remember that I am the example they see. How do I want them to parent when they are older?
