Little Twin Stars: I'm a big kid now

Besides a week and then some of bad weather and sickness in the house, we have come to finally give in (or shall I say Daddy Der finally gave in! :P) to changing the girls' cribs into beds. Yes, it was a big day as this is when we finally say they are no longer babies. It's been going on for a long time now that both girls could climb out of their cribs (Sophie at 19 months I think), but until recently, the girls get up earlier than we do in the morning, they climb out and can't seem to climb back. We find them in the morning on the floor reading books. You can see from the pics that they are ecstatic of their new beds.

As we thought we were in the clear with healthy kids this weekend, turns out Sophie had diarrhea this morning, so once again today we were home bound except for our quick errands out to get the bed rails and some milk. The theme seems to be battling whatever health issues that seem to turn up on the girls. Both Sophie and Hannah are getting potty trained. Hannah is a little more successful as she is dry in the morning and after naps. Both girls love getting rewards after doing the deed, so I think we're on the right track. How did my babysitter get me potty trained before I turned 2?! I want to know!!!

Oh yeah Soph Soph and Hann memorized most of the books we have (there's quite a bit), so I think I need to buy some new ones. Any suggestions would be great! They are in love with their vast collection of Playdoh which seems to take up a good chunk of playtime (Thank you makers of Playdoh!!!). Hannah is great at catching and throwing a ball and Sophie is pretty good at hitting a ball with a bat. Yes, all of that is nerf toys not really hard bats or balls.

To make up for last weekend's updates: Hannah was down and out with the flu, so I took Sophie out for a little while to Aiden's birthday party which was at Chuck E. Cheese. Soph Soph and I bonded and had a lot of fun meeting Chuck, eating some yummy cake, and playing video games. It was raining just as it is now for over a week, so there really wasn't much we could do outside. Most of the time we had that weekend was spent at home.

One little tid bit was that I guess the girls were really bored that weekend (we were at home most of the time) and because mommy enforced strict nap times she made daddy leave them in the room to nap regardless if they were super tired or not. Well there were some loud giggling and shenanigans happening over the monitor, so mommy went to check out what was going on. The girls had thrown everything out of the crib, stuffed animals, blankets, pillows, clothes, and yes, diapers. The girls went streaking and as I entered I was shocked and called out to Derek who came running up and hid behind the door because he was laughing so hard. I couldn't help, but laugh uncontrollably too. Ahh the joys of parenting! We enjoy being parents of twins, but I seriously don't know how people have more than 2 children :P
