pre school – Mummy To Twins Plus One

Well done girls and especially Julia

The girls went out and about with Daddy this morning as I am not feeling the best. The girls were all dressed up and were not in nappies yet again, yeah! While at the hardware store Julia looked like she needed to go to the toliet, Daddy asked if she needed to go and she said yes. He asked if she could hold on. He explained that he had no nappies, or the potty with him and that she needed to wait if she could. She said she could wait.

They then finished at the hardware store and Daddy wanted to go to the shops to get some food. He asked Julia if she was o.k to go to the shops or should they go home. Julia said that she could wait and they should go to the shops. She was a very good girl and hung on and waited until they all got home to go to the toliet. Very proud of her to have done this, just a great thing to have done.

Julia also on Australia Day told us she needed to go while we were on our way to the airfield, she gave me the look that she could not wait and she needed to go now. It was a very intense look with eyes open wide to express the urgency. We stopped along the road, I raced out of the car and in my haste thought it was Lillian that needed to go. She told me, “Not me mummy”. I then realised and got Julia out and the potty out and all was good.

What great progress we are making and big girls they are becoming. To think I was worried that they would never be potty trained before pre-school. I am so pleased that they are doing so well and ready and on that note that I only have 17 sleeps to go till the girls start pre-school.

Yes, finally in seperate beds

Tonight I heard cries from the girls bedroom, I ran in to find out what the issue was. Lillian was in tears and yet again sharing Julia’s bed. For weeks we have not been able to seperate them, they just want to be together always. Julia is a bit out of sorts due to a cough and seems to be generally unwell but not that sick, Lillian not sure what the issue was, but took it she wanted more room.

I told Lillian that she could go back to her bed to get more room and to have a better sleep. She nodded, yes, maybe it will work tonight. Managed to get Lillian to her bed minus one of her toys, one of the bummies. Found it and got her to bed. Julia was then awake and as I had changed Lillian’s nappy I did the same for Julia. Tucked her in, added some ecuplitics oil to her sheets and then she latched onto my hand and fell to sleep. Made a get away when she rolled over.

Phew, now kids are finally in bed in their own beds. Thought it was not going to work at one stage, as Julia freaked out and wanted to know where Lilian was. Explained and she went back to sleep.

Hope that this will be the same for tomorrow night, sleeping in their own beds. We will see. Do your children/twins want to sleep together? Has this closeness caused issues in other areas when they get older. I fear that the girls might not want to be seperated when the other might want to do something different. That is ages away at this stage, so would just like to focus on getting to pre-school at this moment.
