First Day Of School & Bathtub Built for Two

Yesterday was the twins' first day of "school". They are going to the same program that Malloy went to when she was a baby. It is Tues, Wed, and Thurs 8:30-2:00. As you can see, Gardner's day did not get off to a great start. In all fairness, he woke up at 5:25 that morning and was beyond ready for a nap by 8:30 a.m. He was really more tired than unhappy about his new surroundings.

Malloy helped me drop everyone off for their first day. She was showing Maisey the ropes in her old classroom.

Yesterday was the first day I have been alone in my house since the twins were born. Some of my twin mom friends told me that keeping your kids at home with a sitter is easier than getting them to Mothers' Day Out. I agree that it is more trouble to load everyone up, but having the house to myself for a few hours is worth it! After school, we sat outside and enjoyed the beautiful weather. Maisey loved swinging. Doesn't she look happy?? Well, a few hours later she had a fever of 102.7 and had to miss her second day of school. :( We went to the doctor today, and after a finger prick and throat swab, the doctor diagnosed it as "just a virus".

I went ahead and sent Gardner to school. Maisey and I had the whole day to ourselves. After the doctor's office, we took a quick trip to Wal-Mart (her first trip EVER to ANY store), then met a friend for lunch. I was reminded of how easy it is to do things with just one baby.

Now for my latest invention - a bathtub built for two!

While we were in Chicago, we gave the babies a bath in the kitchen sink. They were still a little too wobbly for my liking. Now that they are good sitters, I decided to bathe both of them in the sink at the same time. It was so much fun! Each baby had his/her own compartment, and they were splashing and splashing and having a ball.
