- Katherine had tear duct surgery and it traumatized my wife and I. She on the other hand did really well and didn't cry at all. She did throw a fit about the scrubs that they put on her after she woke up from the anesthesia but that is my girl.
- Josephine (our non-twin kid) is a very easy baby (maybe after you have twins the first time it just seems easier) she eats, sleeps (a lot, thank you God!) and poops a lot. However, she likes to smile, coo and overall is a happy baby. Her older sisters love her each in their own way. Katherine is very touchy feel-y with her to the point we have to tell her to back-off a bit. Layla is more like this, "Okay, cool you are here and I love you but you just stay away from my stuff and we are cool. I will come and bring you toys and stuff but just stay in your lane."
- I have to brag about our older girls because they make me feel very dumb at times. There are things that they do like puzzles, count one through ten in Spanish and English, know their primary colors and call us out when they know we are skewing the truth a bit that I don't recall being able to do at their age. My wife on the other hand probably was reading Tolstoy at their age, maybe that is where they get that from. Side note: "My wife things Tolstoy is an evil man because of the way he wrote."
- The parental unit (my wife and I) have made the decision to start potty training this weekend, please Pray for us, may the pee and poo be toilet bound and not...other bound.
- I started trying something new that has benefited our little family, I wake up an hour earlier than I usually do and work on side projects (freelance, some life dream stuff) and when I get home from normal work I don't think of work or side work. Instead I become a fictional lion and ROAR!!!! In the jungle called "Casa de Eloy" I hunt for little monkeys, frogs, rabbits and whatever other animals the girls decided to be that day.
- We introduced the girls to señor "Bob the Builder" needless to say they are always trying to "fix" things. I believe their grandpa would be proud as they use baby bottles and pretend they are hammers, flip their play stools and use "glue" to put them together, finally my favorite they work together and ask one-another to pass the "hammer, screwdriver etc." to get the job done.
- It is lent and my wife and I decided to "give up" Facebook and I must say....it is nice, we read more and seems like we are engaged with our little family more. It might become permanent but then again like any "addiction" it comes and drags you back.
- Saturdays are daddy-daughter mornings. Momma and little baby stay home and sleep (well if little baby decides to be nice to momma) and Daddy and twins go for Saturday morning donuts with their favorite, SPRINKLES! (note: they just eat the sprinkles not the Donut.) Then we go to the library and get books and usually a couple of movies.
- Hakuna Matata is our a song I started singing one night at bed time then played it on the iPhone and now it is a favorite. The best part is seeing Katherine get out of her bed and dance. Layla just sits there and looks at me confused because she is expecting the iPhone to show the cartoon. However, she makes comments about what should be happening at certain parts of the song. Their favorite line is one from the actual video,"It tastes like chicken!" the reason being I kiss them and act like I am eating them and always say,"Hmmmm yummy you taste like chicken!" Makes me smile every time.
Okay I went over ten minutes...it was more like 15 minutes. Please comment so I know people are reading since I can't post a link of the new post on facebook.
