I tried to snap a shot of the Twin-Daddy reading to Alex and Dom at bedtime before I ran off to the Sacramento Mothers of Multiples meeting (because they were so very sweet), but it just wasn&#8217;t working out. <\/p>\n<p>The day was full of two little boys who didn&#8217;t want their mom outside of the Playzone for more than a minute or two, so I spent much of the day with one or both boys crawling or sitting on me. If I stepped out to throw away diapers or fix a quick bite to eat, Alex was soon standing at the Playzone wall closest to me and crying until I came back. I stretched out the boys&#8217; awake time today to try and transition them to 2 naps, and while their first nap was only an hour, in the afternoon Dom slept 2 and Alex 2 1\/2 hours. They felt more secure and independent after that last nap.<\/p>\n<h2>Little Big Events<\/h2>\n<p>When the Twin-Daddy walked through the door after work, Dom and Alex both got excited &#8211; waving their arms, smiling really big, and taking off crawling in his direction. Their dad had a delighted grin of his own as he spread his arms wide and immediately came over to love on his boys.<\/p>\n<p>During our evening family time, we got to watch Dom bob and sway as he danced to &#8220;All the Single Ladies&#8221; and &#8220;Wavin&#8217; Flag.&#8221; He&#8217;s our little dancer and singer right now.<\/p>\n<p>At dinner, the boys had a 2-course meal of green beans and carrots, and Alex ate all his green beans! He&#8217;s so much better at eating now too.<\/p>\n<p>And in the evening, when their dad was reading them &#8220;Goodnight, Moon,&#8221; I popped in to give all my boys&#8217; kisses before going to the SMoM meeting. As I headed back out the door, Dom called out, &#8220;Mama.&#8221; A heart melted and another round of kisses was had by all. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The boys and I had a quiet day at home with no new photos or videos.
