One Thing I Learned

Well, I learned many many things in my #& years. (that’s right, I’m not tellin :) but this one thing I could never figure out is how my middle daughter (Is she really “middle” if I have 4 kids and 2 are twins?) could always tell the twins apart. Maggie is 2 and a half years older than the twins and she was always spot on with who was who. I found it fascinating and thought she was a super genius until one day we were all swimming together and it dawned on me....she is on their level all the time so it’s easier to tell them apart. In the pool we are all on the same level and it was so much easier to tell them apart. 11 years later Maggie just calls Olivia and Sophia “twin” because I think it’s more difficult to tell them apart now but then again when I look back on baby and toddler photos it’s still hard to tell them apart I mean come on they are identical twins.

Truth be told I think I would have left the housework go for a couple more hours and opted for some more time on the floor with my kids. It’s not that I didn’t do it but I don’t think I did it enough. Or maybe I did do it enough and now that they are grown I just miss it. Either way take time to have some floor time with your kids. This is one of those life lessons I will teach my kids when they have kids. Life just always seems so rushed.... get on the floor and play with your kids.
