toil and trouble

i first met them two years ago when they were wee little babies close to aniq’s age now.

that was back when i was a somewhat baby naysayer, only happy to coo at them at an arm’s length, or at most, hold them for a few minutes before passing them back to their respective parents. a far cry from the diaper-changing, puke-wiping, baby-talking, milk-making machine that i am now.

my, how we’ve all grown since, those babies and me.

spending a day with one toddler is, i can imagine, rather tiring. but spending a day with TWO, oh what an experience! their veteran of a mother is ever so patient, not only tending to their different moods, but also retrieving both tods from wherever they’d wandered off to and placing the loot found in their sticky hands back on the shelves. hehee!

the cool hunk coolly sucked on his fist even when a frog threatened to climb its way up his belly, while the girls soon warmed up to me with my silly alligator and chocolate panda jokes.

by the end of the day, they were so warmed up, they showered the little one with passionate kisses. see, girls kiss with their eyes closed, but boys like to see what’s happening. lol!

can you tell that one of the twins has a more sociable disposition? i think this one has the mentel potential. just like aunty hana.

i realised after that, that i have it easy with only one babe in tow. two at one go? i’d be frazzled out of my wits. but i better not speak too soon, coz… i have twin genes in my family too. how lovely would that be?

meanwhile, good luck to you ah, rin, on your impending twin boys! jia yo, you can do it!
