1. What I say: don’t throw that ball at the window.
What 2-year-old twins hear: Throw a different ball at the window.
2. Every day is an adventure!! Some days the twins run into the bathroom and do their business. Other days, “No your foot doesn’t go in the toilet! Stop! Toys do not get flushed down!!”
3. All the baby books and nurses told us that as infants the twins need to eat every 2 to 3 hours, but what they fail to mention is that this behavior continues as toddlers who either go BANANAS until you feed them or just open the pantry on their own and bring every single item to you for opening.
4. 50% of being a Twin-Dad is just trying to decide if that noise is worth:
a. Walking up those stairs
b. Looking in the backseat while driving
c. Deciding if the fall is worthy of attention
d. Allowing them to continue hiding
e. Am I changing that diaper or mom!
5. Having kids is pretty much the parenting equivalent of opening a box of chocolates:
You have no idea what you’re going to get, it’s exciting, it’s deceptively expensive, and you’re baffled as to how there’s so much $%^& everywhere.
Somewhere there is a Labor Day stand-down reminding Sailors and Marines to be safe this holiday. It is no different, as I do this with my players as well. In 2020, we have already lost too many greats. So please be safe, look after one another, and be vigilant.
