Twin Tuesday

Here's the scene from last Saturday's soccer game.  They are not playing soccer, they are sliding down the hill.  I had so much hope for these two! Of course, Girl Twin was hurt for the beginning practices, so she had to watch. But brother jumped right out there and did so great at practices.  It took him getting knocked down one time during the first game, and he was done.  Finito.  When Girl Twin was healed and ready to play, she excitedly took the field.  Finally, what I was waiting for!  Oh, but no.  She decided, "I don't want the blue kids."  Translation: she didn't want another team out there.  I guess we forgot to explain how a soccer game works.

Oh well.  Lesson learned. They just aren't ready yet.  And we'll be saving that $60 bucks next spring.  As I always say, it's a good thing they are so darn cute.

Twin Tuesday

It's time for Twin Tuesday again!  Let's start this one off with an update on the twins from their 3-year well visit this morning with the pediatrician.

 

Both kids are hitting all their developmental milestones right as they should be.  Boy Twin is showing "average" on both the height and weight charts, but Girl Twin is "above average" on height. I'm A-OK with all of this.  They are healthy, growing and developmentally awesome.

 

Now, onto something fun for Boy Twin.  Soccer has started! Let the world rejoice!  Last week was our first practice, and the boy freaking loved it.  Poor sis will have to sit out while the collarbone heals, but hopefully she can get in there in a couple more weeks.

 

Let me tell you, this kid was in heaven!  And, I have to admit, it was so fun watching one of my kids (finally!) actually get out there and participate.  We've tried Big Sis in both soccer and t-ball, but had no real participation from her.  I didn't know what to think about the boy!  He's got some skills!  And every day for a week, he's asked to go back to soccer.  Thank goodness today's the day.
