It comes naturally

People pay good money for a 'do like this:
My Adalie creates it in her sleep

( I did not alter this in anyway, she honestly woke up exactly like this.

Not only is she cute, she is talented too! )

Confessions of a mother of identical twins

1. I once gave a prescription medicine to the wrong baby.

2. I took both babies to the doctor, only one was sick, and didn't realize until we were done that I had them check, weigh, undress, etc., the wrong baby.

3. I was in the rocking chair, singing to AVA a song at the top of my lungs about how much "I love Addie Jo oh so" and how "Addie Jo is my favorite girl that I ever did know" and "I love Adalie wherever I go" and so on and so on (and so on). It wasn't until my song was over that I realized I was singing to Ava. I tried to make up for it by quickly adding, "and I love you Ava too!"

4. Last week we went outside to play in the water for TWO HOURS in the PEAK HOURS of sun. That night while giving the babies a bath, I realized that I applied sunblock to Adalie two times, and Ava no times. She got a horrible sunburn and I feel very bad about it.
