It has been a long time since I last posted. I have been busy and preoccupied. However, I have oodles of posts to write. I just have to get a few of these lines down.
The twins’ favorite game to play this summer has been ‘Mommy – Baby’. About 80 percent of the time, Campbell is Mommy (go figure). It is rather interesting to watch. Emerson even changes her voice to be more ‘baby-like.’
After a game of ‘Mommy – Baby’, Campbell and Emerson were sitting at the table for a snack…which let me explain is rare…they are usually running around eating a snack, leaving a trail of crumbs behind. It is NO wonder why I have a sigificant ant problem this year.
Anyway, Campbell firmly stated to Emerson, “Baby, if you don’t eat your snack you are not going to be able to go to Elin’s <their cousin> house tonight. AND…if you cross the street without looking both ways, you are going to die! A car will hit you! Oh…and if you use a bad word, I am putting pepper on your tongue.”
Campbell is like a voice recorder. She sounded so much like me, I was scared. Within one swift conversation she took all of my threats from the day and lumped them into one.
Thankfully, a few minutes later, Campbell switched to sweet mommy, “Come on over, Baby, so I can put you in bed and rub your belly.”
