Twins: twice as nice? NOT!

  These boys are truly something else! They are doing a great job with potty training. Maybe one accident a day for me, but not for the other nanny (she's just so perfect.) Their vocabulary expands more every day. From working at Taggarts for some time, I am a sucker for kids with manors. Anymore manors are a must! I am constantly on them about Yes Please, No Thank You, Can I Please Have, etc. They are getting the hang of it more so with each other than with others. When KP steals a toy from HB hands, and HB wants it back "No thank you Bubba" KP will tell him. KP, today alone, has been saying the funniest things. "That was not very nice Dave" when his dad shut the car door after getting frozen yogurt. "I am not going potty." Actually everything is "I'm not" which I really enjoy. Like I have told each of my 8 little loves "In the world of you VS me, I always win. You don't win until you are 18... if you are lucky."

  Their personalities are so different, but so are their looks. KP is blonde with blue eyes, HB has dark hair with hazel eyes. I can tell KP to stop doing something he shouldn't be doing and he will. HB will test my nerves until I have to raise my voice. Then he cries. Little does he know I have no sympathy. KP loves cars. He will lay down on the ground watching the wheels and just how it all works. HB will do silly things to make you laugh, which he succeeds at. HB is very stubborn. Trying to get him to go potty some days is shaving days off my life. He things as long as he sits on the toilet for 5 seconds it is the same as actually going potty. DRAMA DRAMA DRAMA! KP on the other hand will sit, go potty and be done.

  OH MY GOODNESS! HA! KP on occasion will take his pajamas off in the morning before I go in to get him. Well he figured out how to take his diaper off so we started putting duct tape (or "dream tape" as i tell them) around his waist. My last night of work a few weeks ago things were so crazy at bedtime I completely forgot to get the dream tape. The other nanny walked in to a messy smelly disaster. I felt horrible because I am sure she was swearing my name left and right. However I will defend myself: the parents were helping at bath time.

Adding a kid touch to my bathroom. No thanks!

  My bedroom is right next to the boys room. They have a bathroom in their room, but it has become daily routine when they get up in the morning and from nap they use my bathroom to go potty. They always put their hands and faces all over my shower doors and I tell them "When you become a big boy you can take showers too". Well tonight they took their first every shower in my huge shower.... AND LOVED IT! They each brought 2 cars to drive all over the walls. Mom and Dad both popped in and laughed over how much fun the boys were having. This will be a TREAT, not a nightly thing.
