Do you see that picture up top of them holding hands.... probably one of my favorites. What would it be like to have someone that you had been with every second from the very beginning? Someone who looked just like you, and even called you by her own name (they are still trying to figure out who is Lauren and who is Hallie) How is it that one can bite the other on the shoulder and by they time I take the biter to her crib for a time out and get down the stairs the other is crying for her sister- already forgiven her, and doesn't want her to be away. That is a lesson to me of what it means to "be like a child" quick to forgive and forget. How am I so lucky to have these sweet little healthy girls who are full of life and LOVE? They are so excited and curious that sometimes I get frustrated- but mostly that is because I am busy doing something and they are making it hard for me to accomplish my task. How silly. The times I give them my full attention and love they are happy and nice. I am trying to be better. I know that in no time my little toddlers will be little girls...then little girls to teens... oh that is scary! I want to remember the funny things they say and do, and let them feel how much I love them! and mostly I want them to keep their special bond, quick forgiveness, and hands together forever!!!

Twin girls would be the most amazing thing to have if you had the patience for it - which you do. You're doing a great job. We all get frustrated and focus on the unimportant tasks we have to do - as long as you're trying your hardest then you are doing the right thing for them. I love you all!
That was the sweetest post ever. It's so true about the only time kids are really ever that annoying is when you are not giving them the attention they need at the moment. It's not their fault. If my boys start to get crazy and whiny, I try to stop whatever it is I'm trying to do and read a book or play a game together and then I swear they are fine again for another few hours. And I love how you described the bond they have for each other; I have often thought of the forgiveness part too. Kids are so willing to love you and let you off the hook. Pretty much they teach me instead of the other way around!
Beautiful thoughts, Chelsea! I had the chills reading about their little twin connection. I am still amazed that you were blessed with two. The pictures are soooo cute, I kinda can't take it! ;)
Thank you for that post. I have been feeling like such a bad mother. Bailee has been a little hard for me, and I never thought I would be one of those moms that yelled at her kids. Yet, Bailee is always so quick to forgive me. How would it be to be a twin. Your girls are so lucky to have eachother.
Holy crap, I'm going to bawl. Seriously, it makes me sooo excited! Hopefully my boys will be the same:)
Tag your it!
Cute girls! It looks like they are enjoying summer and each other. How sweet!
so sweet. i love how much you love your girls. they will grow up to be best buddies, and how fun to always have each other to fall back on..someone to always be there. too stinkin' cute. they've got a good momma-
This post actually makes me wish I had twins. So, so tender.
too, too much! You put it perfectly, chels. But it still doesn't make me want twins. I will take them one at a time. I am glad to hear about your experiences, though!
