BIG Helper

When I found out I was having twins, the first thing I did was the math.
"Hmmm that means.....FOUR kids in........FIVE years!!!!"
And this is usually one of the first questions I get when people find out I have twins,
"Do you have any others? How old are they?" And when I tell them they always look aghast and exclaim something like
" You are going to have your hands full!" or "That's a lot of little kids!" Yes I have seen the stares we get when we go out in public. Its is NOW commonplace to see the head shakes as they count the kids and then look at me....Hello people I'm not blind!
Anyway, turns out I don't have to do EVERYTHING by myself. Maddi LOVES helping (as I suspected she might) but surprisingly Andrew is a fabulous helper. When he hears a baby cry he RUNS into the room and yells " I HELP!" And he sticks his face in their face and makes giggly sounds. And when we are unloading the car, I help him out first and he ALWAYS turns around and says "Oh Mom! Don't forget the babies!" Good thing he reminds me, WHEW! thanks kid.
