Today is the magic day! Today is the day Ryan and I have been anticipating for the past five years. Today the twins turn five-years-old!
Many people think that the first year must be the toughest with twins. I was also under that impression until I had a set of my own. No, the first year is a breeze. You change two bums, you feed two mouths, you wash two bodies, you love two adorable babies that sit in their bouncy seats, swing in their swings, lay in their cribs, and stay right where you leave them.
When that first year passed I thought I had it made. In fact, I remember challenging the heavens to bring on a third... I could do it. Then the girls started moving.
Year after year, as the challenges persisted, I would ask other twin moms, "When is it going to get easier?" The answer seemed to always be, "Age five." Age five? But they're only two.
So you see, today when the girls blow out their candles they'll be getting a little help from their parents. We will be blowing great big sighs of relief. We've been banking on this day for a long time. Tomorrow everything will be different!
