did your kids start to name their dolls?
At what age were your kids able to tell people how old they are?
Just wondering.
Strangers have asked my kids these questions recently and they had no

Hello! We are expecting twins soon & are trying to figure out if they
should sleepl in the same crib...two cribs...same room...two rooms? Any
suggestions?
Thanks,

This question may seem really weird, since my girls were born 11
months ago...but I really am not exactly sure what happened during my
12-hour (premature) labor, due to all the drugs they were pumping into
me. The whole experience is kind of foggy!

I was just curious how long you have all been posting.  Since I am planing the
girls 2nd birthday I have been getting sentimental.  So I did a search to find
all of the posts from when I first started posting.  It has been years!  I know
those of you with older twins have been here ...

Well just a quick update on me. DH and I have separated. It's really been
challenging but my friends have been great. It's supposed to be a temporary
separation but who knows. Things were just getting too hard for us to
coexist so DH got an apartment. I am not blaming any of it ...

I have never bought into the "one car seat to get us all the way through"
theory, primarily because it seems to me that the kids are going to have
some *horrible* events (vomit, diarrhea ...) and the idea of them sitting in
the same seat with a liner that can't be removed for ...

For all the parents of twins:
Would you mind giving me some ideas on cute twin Christmas pictures?   I'm
not sure which one of you it is, but there is one that has ecah baby in a
stocking.....that's too precious.  Any other ideas?  We have b/g twins that

I've posted a few times, but mostly lurk and receive some great
advice!
So, here's my question:  I have 7 1/2 mo B/G twins that will soon be
transferring out of their carseat carriers to the next level.  After

At what age do kids start wearing deodorant? My girls are starting to have
body odor already! Is there a special young person's deodorant or
all-natural solution?
Thanks,

Money has been tight around here lately and I feel I am always saying 'no'
to everything that costs $. We've decided not to eat out right now and are
trying to cut corners elsewhere too. We plan on having Grandpa buy school
clothes, not so many after school activities next year etc. ...

Abigail and Jonathan were the stars of the show! Walking around and saying
hello to everyone!
My side of the family was present and the DW's mom, sister and aunt and
uncle and 2 cousins were there too.

All is well.
Really, what was all the fuss about??  There was a little bit of crying before
orientation last week - but smooth sailing ever since.  Not one bit of
separation troubles.  (we won't talk about how much mommy cried...)

I was wondering what cute "bonding" things your twins/triplets do. Mine
smile and coo at each other, and their faces light up when they see each
other. When they are out in their double stroller, they hold hands. The
other day, Aimee, who always sucks her fingers, began to suck ...

Has anybody tried Roomba robot vacuum? Does it really save you time?
