Mike and I know all about having one kid...the ups, the downs, the ins, and outs....the poop. But two? That's uncharted territory for us. So we've taken the opportunity to sample what life will be like juggling two little ones.
I was fortunate enough to hang out with the Terjesen clan a few weeks ago in their hometown of Phoenix. Erin is one of my closest and bestest friends...and was my roomie in college. She juggles motherhood of two and her contract work beautifully and manages to laugh along the way. So I'm not at all surprised that her baby boy Tyler (previously referenced here and here), and beautiful girl Sydney are equally as charming and hilarious.
And this is me attempting to juggle the two of them. Tyler wouldn't stop laughing at me (probably for good reason)...
Mike did a little better than myself. He managed to get two boys on his lap AND get them to focus. I'd say he's pretty much a baby whisperer. I will remember this come early 2011. Here he is with the famous Cavin and his BFF Lucas.
Coincidentally, this is what happens when I try to put the same two boys on MY lap just a few weeks earlier....
Looks like I'm going to need more practice! In my defense, Cavin had just woken up (still super sleepy) from a nap and Lucas, trying to make him feel better, ended up hitting him in the chest.Lesley, Lucas' mommy, is one of my closest friends out here in the bay area and so we love to get our boys together to play....even better when one of our hubbies takes full reign of the two crazy toddlers so we can sit back, relax, and chat about what's new!
Bonus points go to all the boys when the entertain us with a game of chicken fight.
