Hats off to mothers of twins!

If there were ever a morning I wanted to lay down and throw a fit it was today!! I started watching my niece full time yesterday, that part isn't bad, she and Riley get along quite well and wear each other out! However today I decided to tak a venture to the malls soft play. This is how my morning started. I feed them babycakes, it's just pancakes made with there formulas since the both can't have milk. Then I get my daughter changed and of course she throws a fit because she wantes to roll around and crawl everywhere instead of sit still for 2 minutes to get changed! All is going well until I started getting ready to go. Luckily my nieces bag was pretty much packed, I just had to make sure she had a bottle, snacks, lunch and enough diapers. I have to pack our bag with just about everything as we don't go out to often and quite frequently empty it out. While I'm in the kitchen in complete view of both my niece and daugher they start wining, which then leads to a full on cry. I have to stop and comfort them both then try to get them distracted so I can finish and they start whining again, so I talk to them and give them a cracker. What should have taken me about 5-10 minutes took me 30! I then had to get my nieces car seat in my car which I wrestled with for another 20 minutes tring to get the anchor hooks on to the anchors! The whole I can see the girls in the laundry room and they are crying because they want me. Then I must come in change both of their diapers and get them in the car! I was 45 minutes late, I was meeting a friend. I was so frustrated and I now have a taste of what it would be like to have twins! So for all of you mothers with multiples, I take my hat off to you.

Well softplay was another adventure in itself. We played for about 20 minutes since there were two little girls that kept pushing or stepping on my two and of course the mothers weren't paying attention. Mind you I went into the corner where there werent any other kids and these to just happened to come over. One little girl just kept following Riley around and would push her off of everything she had gone to. At onepoint I said very loudley "come on Riley lets go over here seeing as this little girl isn't being very nice." No response or even look from the mother. She had no idea what her kid was doing! The other little girl would just walk up to my niece and push her down, or no reason. I never saw the mother of this child until she left. See we left and came back when most of the kids were gone I was so discusted that the parents would not even pay attention to their kids or let them behave that way! I did get some cute pictures.

Riley loves seeing her reflection......

So much so she gave herself a kiss!

Untill next time have a great week and check out some of my other bolgs. Please say a prayer for the Roberts family, http://noahandjulieroberts.blogspot.com, they lost their baby girl yesterday. I do not know them personally but have followed their blog and at this time I am sure they could use a some prayer.
