Another delight - a lot of tenderness and a lot of hilarity mixed in. The pacifier crisis looms and is very very real! I learned from my sisters' babies and mine always had 4 or 5 on the go, but they STILL sometimes preferred a specific pacifier.

When you said "I'm raising you and my inner child. The sonogram never showed twins" you made me think of an Egyptian saying that goes "Children raise us", which means raising children forces us to raise ourselves in the process and re-examine our unhealed wounds. You are in it now, my friend.

I love that quote and now I need to read more about it. I think once you have children you commit to having a life of growing pains. I’m sure you would agree(?)

A hundred percent. I use the video game comparison even though I hate video games, lol. Every time you get used to one level, you move up and it's hard all over again.
