Two Days Down

Well, 2 days down for this week and only 2 more to go. I have a paid personal day coming up this Friday. My husband was booked to put on a training class in Windsor, which is about a 2 hour drive, but this morning that was cancelled. So, it will be the 2 of us to enjoy the morning with our sweet little twin girls. I bought them each a cute little yellow sun dress with a pair of yellow shorts to under it. I brought the dresses over to them yesterday. They both carefully looked at them, and then exclaimed Nanny Nanny, there are pockets in it! Pockets in a 3-year old's dress is a highlight apparently. Hopefully they will have them laundered so that I can dress them up in those on Friday morning. Our son has to have either Grandpa or myself accompany him at 1pm to the doctor's office. The girls have an appointment for an exam and a vaccination. The funny thing is with them, when the first one gets her shot, and cries, the other one begins to cry as if she felt that pain. She is usually finished crying by the time the needle breaks her skin. It is cute to watch. Two days down and two days to go until the fun with the two little girls. How is your week going?

I remember how all us kids waiting in line for vaccines would begin to cry as soon as the first one began crying while getting one, it just seemed like we knew something would hurt pretty soon

My dad was in the Army and everytime he was shipped overseas we'd have to get shots and the way the Army did things back in the 1950s was to simply had everyone going overseas get in line for shots, it was mostly the families of the soldiers as the soldiers got theirs in a different location, at least I don't recall dad being there, just mom.

We always went one at a time to the doctor's office, and there was never anybody around when we got our shots.

Twins often have some unusual connections that single siblings don't.

I used to see it when they were babies too, not just the crying but the reaching out towards each other when they are scared or nervous, they've done that at their first swimming lesson once.

I like the pic. The week is rolling right along. Today is the first full day I have been here since last Weds I guess all sorts of treasures can go in the pockets

Thanks, I found that online a long time ago and like the picture. When Harper pulls out her pony tails, they will go in the pocket. But she is a little pack rat, so there should be snacks and lots of other things in there.

@Juliaacv Kids are so funny. I hope that pack rat tendency does not persist.

I hope to see them in their sundresses. It’s been a wet and stormy week.

I will take a picture of them in the dresses one day when I can. Hopefully in the morning, when they are still 'clean' they seem to get into everything these days while they are playing.

I hope their mom gets their outfits washed and dried for Friday morning. Even with the workmen here, we had a quiet day.

They must look so cute in those dresses. My week has been okay. Great relief with my apartment situation, but having some back issues. I hope it doesn’t interfere with the party enjoyment.

I hope that with the apartment issue, you can relax and maybe that stress will help your pain tolerance. You worried for such a long time, now is the time to catch up on some lost sleep from it all so that you can enjoy the party on Saturday.

I am so glad Ron is home with you. Poor sweet girls, they surely hate the needles as most children do.

Yes, today and tomorrow I will work, then a day with Ron and the girls. They must have their vaccines, it is only for a short time that they will cry.

Pockets are a great thing to little ones. That was the favorite part of Adelines robe when I made her one at that age

I agree with your littles, pockets are essential! When you get them all dressed up in them, I will be looking for a picture. And hopefully YOU will be in the picture, too! Hopefully the doctor visit will go smoothly and they won't cry too hard.

Enjoy your day off with the little ones. I'm sure they will find all kinds of special things to put in their pockets! My week is going so-so. Need to find someone to take care of my weeds; and I need to go to Urgent Care on Friday because of my tooth.
