Have you ever had someone say to you enviously, “I always wanted to have twins”? After a long day of chasing after your own, your first inclination was probably to retort, “Are you nuts?” But after solemn reflection, you realize how lucky you truly are. Here are some reasons to count your blessings that you have twins!
1) You got two kids for the price of one pregnancy!
2) You get double the hugs when you’re feeling down.
3) Your multiples can share the same clothes and toys.
4) They have a built-in playmate.
5) As supermodel Niki Taylor noted in my upcoming book It’s Twins: “One of the coolest parts about being a mom of twin boys is that I have an escort for each arm.”
6) You become a master at multi-tasking. (Haven’t you ever changed a diaper with one hand while spooning some applesauce into a hungry little mouth with the other?)
7) You learn how to thrive on a very flexible schedule!
8) You learn to let go of perfectionism.
9) Your twins learn how to take turns sooner than other kids.
10) You’re the parent of a very special, unique and beautiful family!
