Happy Belated 3rd Birthday to Uta's Clara & Emil! I hope you had a wonderful day! :-) -- Brigitte aa #2145 http://ca.geocities.com/bironmonger/ Please excuse the quality. It is under construction and I am still learning. :-)

After 8 days of countless trips to the potty, many, many pee accidents, a few poo accidents, many pairs of cotton underwear, laundry, Spot Shot, Swiffer Wet Jet, M&Ms, Canadian Smarties (not the American kind), the twins are day-trained and they pretty much did it themselves. I gave them a small...

My girls (who turned 5 on Sunday) have begun an unpleasant new thing - refusing to share toys or treats with big sister because she's not a twin. I've come unglued at them a couple of times and made the point that they are all *sisters*, but I'm not sure it's sinking in. Any suggestions how to...

Hi, does anyone here have a Jane Powertwin, I'm trying to get hold of the instruction booklet and wondered if anyone had a link to the manufacturer? Many thanks -- Chris Weston In England, holding the Ashes

Just wondering if anyone out there has 3 yr old twin girls. I would really like to have a friend to talk to. I'm a stay at home mom who cleans a house once or twice a week for play money, but other than that, I'm pretty much alone. My husband works long hours and we don't really get much quality...

Hi all. It's been a long time since I have been in this newsgroup. But I wanted to get some advice on my fraternal twin boys. They are 5 years old now, and just started Kindergarten. Unfortunately, we have only half-day Kindergarten here (8:55 - 11:40, if that can be called half-day!) ...

We have made it through the first two days of Kindergarten!!! Everything has gone relatively smoothly-- for the girls anyway-- I was pretty much a basket case for most of yesterday morning, but did a good job of hiding it from the girls with some help from DH. No real tears until we got back to...

The tooth fairy made her first visit to our house on Monday night. Ashlyn now only has 19 teeth to brush!! After A&A investigated to find the dollar that the tooth fairy left, Ashlyn said, "I heard her walking around in the house last night." Allyson said, "She wouldn't walk, she would fly." ...

It's so good to see some activity here!! Yay!! My twins will be six in June. K has been very interesting with them in different classes. Our weekends are filled with birthday parties for their classmates, it seems. Ashlyn's classmates tend to invite everyone in the class and Allyson gets...

I'm wondering how many of your kids still believe in Santa, how old they were when they stopped believing, and how you explained the whole myth to them. A&A are five and now in K and DH and I are thinking that there will be some kids who have figured it out. A&A still believe and one of them...

Jennifer-- I can just see this happening in the future in our house, too. Jenna already thinks that her big sisters are the most wonderful people on the planet-- and the feeling is mutual most of the time. But, right now, we have separate play areas for the "big ones" and the "little one" because...

Ashlyn and Allyson will be five in June and start K in the fall. Right now they have preschool three mornings a week. The past few weeks I have heard some of the parents of their classmates talking about the fact that their kids are enrolled in various classes-- ballet, soccer, gymnastics (one...

Hi, everyone!! Before I had my girls, I received a wooden picture frame with sayings about twins on it. It says, "Twins share a special world that is a wonderful, magical place where your best friend grew up under the same roof..." Anyway, I have a friend who is pg with twins and I would love to...

I am curious to know everyone's policy for kids at mealtimes. We have been struggling with one of our girls particularly at dinnertime. It doesn't matter what I make, if she's eaten it a dozen times before, if she's eaten it the day before and liked it-- she says she doesn't like her food and...

Ashlyn and Allyson have been invited by a little girl in their preschool class to her birthday party next Saturday. (BTW, I was impressed-- we got two invitations in the mail-- one addressed to each girl. Bonus points for that mom!!) I know from previous discussions to get two gifts-- got that...

This morning's paper included the following article: http://morningsun.net/stories/071104/reg_20040711045.shtml This local family has triplets on the way and already have a singleton and twins. (Many years ago, my mom considered her own odds for that family combination.) Cindy Wells

A local radio station has gone to a classic country format recently and has played Loretta Lynn's "Ones on the Way" a few times this week. I hadn't heard it before (and my parents hadn't either when we discussed the lyrics). I end up laughing at the Topeka parts since it mirrors some sections...

This may be of interest if anyone has the time. The show premiers Sunday (Jan 14, 2007 at 8 pm EST) and repeats several times next week. This month DISH Network is including National Geographic in its Free Preview channels (look between channels 280-290). Cindy Wells (most of the repeats are...
