Ah, once so meticulously maintained....and then you two grew up a bit and life became hectic.
Not that I'm complaining, but I often think that I need to "check in" with this extra party in our life.
Give a status.
Share an observation.
Post a picture. (Somewhat less of those these days, although when I see people posting pictures of babies on Facebook I TOTALLY get it and get nostalgic). Kids are something else.
So this morning as I was waking up I was thinking of you two. One, because Zoe made her customary weekend entrance and directed "WAKE UP MOM!" (pause) "WAKE UP MOM!" (response: in a minute Zoe, let me wake up). "I WANT TO WATCH PBS KIDS!"
(Ok. You want to watch it here? I'll turn it on.) Done.
Roman? He's always still sleeping. I'm not sure I can think of a time when he woke up naturally before his sister. Nor can I think of a time when he was more willing to go to bed at night than his sister.
I was also thinking of how you both can astound me still. Or amuse me (or your dad, or one of your grandparents).
Roman's stilted speech pattern when he's constructing a more complicated sentence or conveying a new concept.
Zoe's snappy responses.
Makes me smile. Makes me realize we need to appreciate the time we're in, even if it means dealing with the developing independence and boundary-making behaviors (or transgressions as it may be).

Two wonderful statements this week from the twins. Roman spotted a car while we were driving. "That's a Grand Prix". Yup. It was. Zoe told me she was going to go fishing with Grandpa Jon and keep the fish as pets. Love those kids.
