Just a glimpse from just-before-bed-time last night:
My adorable little three-and-a-half-year old twins working sweetly on a puzzle together singing, “We’ll work together, we’ll be friends forever,” from Pooh’s Heffalump Movie.
And then I called them upstairs for bed, and Djuna read out loud to Dinah while she tried to poop on the potty.
How cute is that?
And a glimpse from tonight, right now:
One twin in a monkey costume, one twin in a frog costume, running in and out of our home office, hiding behind the door, opening and closing the door, giggling one second and screeching the next, teasing each other by swiping the little stuffed banana that came with the monkey costume.
Some days when they run around like crazy opening and closing the door to the office, like two little freaks in some Moliere play, I think that the only reason they still have their fingers is because of the blessing of little gadgets like this, something that every parent-to-be or every parent of toddlers simply must have. This one isn’t exactly like mine, but you get the idea:

And during the time it has taken me to write this post, now the girls are sans costumes, sitting right outside the door that would have otherwise taken off their fingers (if not for the safety gadget), and they’re sitting on the floor, their toes touching, reading their books.
Sigh. Ah, life is lovely …
