I have ...Oh, how sweet it is to dance in the rain.<br /><br />I have to say, having a three year old and baby twins is easier than I thought it would be because he is so helpful. It was a tough transition, but he has really grown into his role as a "big brother". Sometimes I think I owe my survival completely to him. Even when he isn't "helping" he is a constant source of comic relief and brings joy in every situation. I wouldn't have it any other way.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09440764801030489008noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8596567296179908968.post-3344843315999309772010-11-16T07:28:54.092-06:002010-11-16T07:28:54.092-06:00What a great post.

I'm definitely dancing in the rain. I hate it when people say "Oh, I'm sorry" when they find out I have quadruplets. Sorry? For what?

You are a patient and kind mother who adores her children. You are a loving wife who (for some strange reason) puts her husband's needs above her own. You are a conscientious worker who always strives to learn more. You are a beautiful person through and through. xMaxabellahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15761220164069379437noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8596567296179908968.post-59586951578814024292010-11-15T06:54:14.940-06:002010-11-15T06:54:14.940-06:00I dance in the rain with my twins ! and I let them...I dance in the rain with my twins ! and I let them throw mud too.♥.Trish.♥ Drumboyshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13482654455512269065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8596567296179908968.post-58561478124544078442010-11-15T06:53:04.750-06:002010-11-15T06:53:04.750-06:00whoops. *world of

We had a toddler, i was working in the oil industry, so i 'retired' when i had twin girls, i was 26 & haven't worked in the real world since. I LOVED being at home with them & subsequently a 4th child, a boy at the end to complete our family. <br />We laughed when we saw those 2 babies in my belly at the 14 week ultrasound, it was a small mercy to skip a pregnancy in my quest to have 4 children, as i was so morning sick!!<br />Now those 4 children under 5 have been in school for a few years, we're hitting high school. It's a whole new chapter in parenting, i find they need you MORE. You have to be available, when they want to talk, it's very different to just keeping them alive!! <br />So our twins are 9 & while they are the least alike of our 4 sporty, smart, social children, they don't clash, argue & we find they still need time alone together without their siblings. It's beautiful to watch. <br />As for mother guilt, i never felt it, while i was working mother of one, i was providing for our family, as a stay at home mother, i was raising them mostly on my own as my husband is a soldier & away A LOT. No point in mother guilt at all, just love your children, smile & they'll understand whatever you have to do for the family is the right thing. Gosh, my husband spends up to 10 months of the year away at war, do you think i'm going to lump father guilt on him?? Hardly. We have great quality time, the rest is just daily routine, all fits into place. <br />I was a mummy straight out of University & it has been the most natural thing to me on earth. My mother said i had twins as i needed a challenge, they were the best thing ever, plus they were sleepers, a total dream. <br />Twins are so special, mine certainly articulate that to me, they love being each other's twin, without words, they connect.
