It's almost been 6 months since the twins were born. Time has flown by, and it has been exhausting. One baby was difficult...two babies is hard....two babies with reflux and a toddler is way harder. BUT it is so very worth all the exhaustion. Every day with our three miracles brings new joys.
We took the twins to the developmental pediatrician (because they were NICU babies). I was excited and a bit scared about what the pediatrician would say. I know the twins are small for their age, but I was not sure how far behind they were in motor and cognitive development. Right now I can just compare them to each other. So I think they are doing fine.
Turns out they are both tight on for their adjusted age. Maybe a bit behind in their fine motor skills - grabbing a ring and pushing up on hands. We will work on it.
Our toddler is 3 and so very smart. I'm constantly amazed by the things she picks up. She hears everything - especially if you think she isn't listening! She has started to memorize songs from her favorite Disney shows. And I have to say its the cutest thing to hear her sing along. We also have her in dance classes now, so she bebops through the house at times too. She now asks to dance with mommy before bath time. Yes, mommy dances around with her. It's so fun.
It's tough having sleepless nights but its all worth it. And as my mom says, "this too shall pass." So I'm going to enjoy every second because I know just how precious it all is.
