Bournemouth and witty replies
Hi
Earlier this year our Midwife Lynne put us in touch with a really nice couple called Kirsty and Richard. They live just round the corner from us and they have twins as well, their boys are identical and are very cute. Well Carol, Kirsty and I all went for a day out in Bournemouth last Thursday and we had a lovely walk all along the sea front . We walked from Bournemouth all the way to Poole and back and it was boiling hot but a really nice day out.
We were talking about the dumb things people say to parents of twins (see last post below) and Kirsty said that there was a whole section on the 'Twins and Multiple Births Association' (Tamba for short) website full of witty come backs to these people that pester you. Kirstys favourite was:
Q) Oh are they twins ?
A) No they're triplets - Shit - Where's the other one gone !!!!
That has us in fits, (ok, I guess you have to be a parent of twins to appreciate it :-)
Weaning is coming along, Ben managed to get the whole of his hand in his mouth just as I was trying to spoon sweet potato and cinnamon in there as well. He then had it all over his fingers and gleefully rammed a food covered finger up his nose. Now I don't know how we're going to get it free of food, I guess he will sneeze it out shortly ! At least it is only one nostral and he can still breath freely so there is no health risk.
We are making our own baby food at present, this is because the food has to have sufficient protein in it and all the baby food you find ready made doesn't have the recommended amounts. So we have a book all about weaning and healthy recipies for babies and we make up food at the weekend and freeze it in ice cube trays and defrost what we need as and when.
The mess they make is unreal and is very funny.
Below is a picture I took about 5 minutes ago. Ben has been dribbling and his top has a large soggy patch, so now you can tell which one is which.
People say to us that they look so alike. Harry & Ben are not identical and Carol and I think they look very different, but some people have a hard time telling them apart.
Well that's all for now.
Cheers Si.
