Multiples Type/Sexes: Fraternal boys

Ages: 20 Months

Current Milestones/Brags: I love how much they're playing, talking, and interacting lately.

Current Challenges: Having two toddlers.

QOTW: What are your current hobbies? What would you like to get into (or get back into) as a hobby? I love to read but find it hard to pick up a book these days. I recently started coloring, which sounds silly, but they make adult coloring books with intricate patterns and designs. I find that it's a great stress reliever. I used to sew and scrapbook. Maybe again someday...

Multiples Type/Sexes: Fraternal g/b

Ages: 4 years old

Current Milestones/Brags: They just moved into the 4 year old room at daycare and are the big kids on campus. How did that happen? They were just born yesterday...

Current Challenges: We are having accidents left and right. They have been potty trained since a little before their 3rd birthday but lately it's been a crapshoot. DS has been pretty good for the most part, but DD can't seem to stay dry through the night. We have been washing her sheets daily and I am so. over. it. We've gotten so frustrated and tired there's been some nights we just put her in one of DS2's diapers (they are the same weight).

QOTW: What are your current hobbies? What would you like to get into (or get back into) as a hobby? I really enjoy sewing and baking. I also want to start running again. If only I were a little more strict with my time management...

Multiples Type/Sexes: di/di fraternal girls

Ages: 11m 1w

Current Milestones/Brags: DD1 has became a pretty efficient walker. Saying more words. DD2 is feeling a little braver, but still not quite there. DD2 did finally call a cat 'ca' instead of 'daw' (dog). DD1 can scale the coffee table... unfortunately. Pushing each other more on their ride on toys= adorable.

Current Challenges: Kids climbing everything. We've all been sick since Thursday, so closing in on a week now. Feverish off/on, DD1 and my older DS have red spots on the roofs of their mouthes and have been miserable off/on. Runny noses everywhere. Everything is whining and unhappy. We're waiting for the results from DS's strep swab, but it could just be a virus. It's been a LOOOOONNNGGG week.

QOTW: What are your current hobbies? What would you like to get into (or get back into) as a hobby? If I had time I would practice my photography more, and finish my sewing projects, or crochet projects, or read one of the many books I have waiting for me.

Multiples Type/Sexes: fraternal boys

Ages: 9 years

Current Milestones/Brags:I can't believe they are finishing 3rd grade!

Current Challenges: Attitude. Attitude. Attitude. (well, from one of my kids.)

QOTW: What are your current hobbies? What would you like to get into (or get back into) as a hobby? Reading - which I am able to do a lot more of now that the kids are older and I don't fall into bed in an exhausted heap at 8pm.

anotherdreamer Hope everyone feels better soon! It's the pits swapping around sickness in the house.

anakah DD1 is still in a pull up at night and soaking it. She's such a sound sleeper when she falls asleep an atomic bomb won't wake her. I'm waiting for the twins to get a little older to worry about it. I am struggling to stay on top of laundry as it is.

@**** I have been wanting to do more. I've done more projects with vinyl than anything else. It's been my goal to do heat transfer vinyl for shirts and the sort. Right now since we had to convert rooms to make a twin nursery, I can barely get to it. We have a room full of office, crafting things, and random shit everywhere. When I have family in town I hope to at least make a space to do things!

SassyPants150, DD has been able to stay dry through the night since 3.5. We do take her to the potty when we go to bed around 11 and then she's good until 7. If we forget to take her to the potty, she would wake us up around 1 or 2 to go potty. I'm hoping this regression doesn't last long. I've whipped out the rewards chart again to hopefully inspire her to wake up when she has to go pee. She is not a heavy sleeper so I don't think that's the problem.
