To Moms

I am sort of fired up about this.

People! Stop judging each other, and try encouraging each other instead! One thing I have found about other moms of twins is that usually when I meet a new one randomly (at a mall, or park, or dr office) one of the first things they do is offer me words of encouragement. "You are doing a great job!" Even though they don't know me, and they don't know about my mothering successes, and breakdowns, they get it.

Where is this coming from? Well, some person decided to write a well-meant reminder to moms everywhere on their "iPhones." If you haven't read it, and decide you want to, do so at your own risk. In my opinion all it does is serves up a big fat dish of guilt that I just don't have time for. This person wrote a response to it that is much more worth reading:

If you are still in a reading mood, this is another great post by someone that I think EVERYONE can benefit from:

Now excuse me while I go take my daily dose of Zoloft.

Museum outing

We had such a fun family day today. We started off taking some flowers to Nicholas Harrell's grave. Then we got some barbecue for lunch. After that we headed to the Natural History Museum on campus. They have some fun exhibits, and a hands on activity center, as well as a butterfly "rainforest."

Will crawling

Will is finally crawling! Although I suspect he knew how a while ago, but chose not to because the army crawl was easier. He would take a couple of crawling steps and then plop onto his belly. Now he has decided to crawl and is going everywhere that his brothers go. :)
