Toddlers

Congratulations, you’ve entered the ultimate adventure: twin toddlerhood, where twin toddlers put the us in busy!  You might find yourself quietly reminiscing about a simpler time when they were infants and not-so-mobile and couldn’t talk back. Or instigate. Or climb. Or get into cupboards. Or refuse to wear socks. Or a potty wasn’t even a thought. And while life certainly takes a (more) chaotic turn, life is also so much fun in this stage as their personalities, development and twin partnership really take shape.

Twin toddlerhood is a land of discovery and discipline, development and regression, break downs and checkups. And achieving balance with all these contrasts is somehow achieved in patiently, preparedly rolling with the day-to-day back and forth contrasts that only twin toddlers can deliver on. Twin toddlers are hilarious yet terrifying, inquisitive yet defiant, impulsive yet explorative, and adorable yet exhausting. But take note: this “adorable” act of toddler twins can be evil. Don’t be fooled; they’re strategic. And with their newfound sleep patterns and ability to communicate, you might even find yourself coming up for air! And, what good would Tips for Twins be if we didn’t give you all the warnings. So take caution: Breathing room can lead to another pregnancy. Don’t say we didn’t warn you! Ok, let’s not get carried away, maybe breathing room will just allow for a hot cup of coffee to be enjoyed. Either way, you add newfound independence with personality traits of twin toddlers that may or may not be complimentary, and it’s a lot!
