Lazy Days

The girls are finally well again. You don't realize how much you appreciate health until it's gone. They have been sooo happy this week and I've had so much fun with them. Here's our pajama party on the deck on one of the last warmer days. Probably not a lot of barefoot days left for this year. It has been amazing how much they are learning lately. We've been working on sharing and saying please (or signing) and they are doing good...sometimes... It's funny because they tease eachother with stuff the other one wants acting like they are going to hand it over and then running/crawling off. I thought that sharing would be more natural for twins since they have to do it all day everyday, but it is definitely a learned behavior that we are working on!!

So today we had our first real accident. The girls have both fallen and bumped their heads, Payton's had tons of bruises...but today we had blood... The girls and I met Pat for lunch at Chick-fil-a and we had a few minutes before Pat had to be back at work and thought we'd let them see the play area. They love watching older kids play and call them all babies... They had a little toddler wall with a steering wheel and sounds toys etc. and the girls were having fun. Then Payton climbed one of the steps up the tower and when she came down the other side it was a little tall and she fell hard on her face. She came up with her mouth pouring blood. We really didn't know what to do. She was screaming and I couldn't see her front teeth and thought they were gone. Thankfully it was just a badly busted lip and she's fine. Pat and I were both a little shaken up... It's funny how it was so scary even though we knew she was really okay, you just don't want them to hurt. So I know this will hardly be the last time for this...but today was the first.
