As they get older, it’s not only nice but also appropriate to respect their privacy — while still loving them to pieces of course. You have much to be proud!

I know that’s not the focus of this blog, but I enjoyed it. You have a lot to be proud of!

Also funny to me how your 3 year old is clearly your family baby (duh). Mine is our oldest (of 2, so not quite so dramatic) so everything she does is big-girl behavior to me.

@Cindy- I think it stands for Technology Student Alliance – it’s a science and tech competition. They are all very different little people!

@Kristi- yep, just nervous. But he is driving very well, so I am sure I will stop that soon…

@Jen – I think we are just calling it a “hang out” – I guess by middle school it changes!

She agreed she wasn’t sure and suggested making it a sleepover or a party to get around the question.

I only had one child and I’m always fascinated hearing people talk about the different strengths and characteristics of their multiples.
