Last night, Gwyneth and Lillian pretty much slept through the night. Definitely a good thing! Problem is, Charlotte was up a number of times so we still didn't get a full night's sleep. But it's coming!
So, with another step in the life of my twins, I had a few thoughts. As a parent, it really does seem to be the small things that I try to savor and not take for granted. The first time Charlie said "Daddy, I love you", I can tell you was an experience I will never forget. Even though Mom prompted and helped her, it was one of the sweetest things I've ever heard. Or maybe a few days ago when Charlotte and I were walking Artu and she just broke out into song and sang her version of "Twinkle, Twinkle". Like I've told some people, having a daughter has turned me into a big sap at times. Donna and I are so busy with the twins, that we've told each other and are trying to make a concious effort to enjoy this time. Trust me, it's hard enjoying a feeding at 2:30 in the morning but before I know it they'll be 2, preschool, proms, etc. This morning before I left for work, I went upstairs and just stared at them both sleeping in their crib
next to each other. It was such a cute little picture that makes me smile just thinking of it. I guess this is part of what a parent is being about, just enjoying the moment when you can. We get so busy and things will get busier, that I am trying to just take a breath and enjoy each moment I can.
Words of wisdom were just spoken. Thanks for sharing your special thoughts. Papa Seegers
