I can't believe it's been 5 years. I know this is so cliche, but the time has just 'sped' by. And I have to say this birthday is making me kind of sad. This is the start of "Max & Emily" not "the twins." They are no longer together, but the start of them being individuals. Of course that's what we want, but it's very bittersweet. This is one of those changes that is hard for me. This might be one of their last birthdays "together." Next year they may want one that's different from each other. They'll have their own friends, their own classrooms and they'll not need me around as much. At least that's how I feel. I hope that's not the case, cuz they are just too young. They are still my babies at heart.
It definitely makes me reflect back on the last few years. Ohhh how much I've learned becoming a parent. Let alone to twins. I never thought parenting could make me this strong and this weak at the same time. I never thought about the world around me, and now I think about everything and what could harm my children or even take me away from them. It's scary to think about sometimes. And all while I'm thinking of this type of stuff, my dear hubby is thinking about how we're going to pay for college and retire. :P I CAN'T GET PAST THEM TURNING FIVE, LET ALONE 18 OR OLDER!! :P I know he understands tho and we try really hard to cherish those times together. We are really so blessed.
So what things have they done and learned about in the last 5 yrs. . ? Well they've been to a few zoos, a couple aquariums, 2 boardwalks, quite a few parades, a few shows at the arena, many parks, learned about & spent time in hospitals, spent 2 years in preschool, drove through & been in quite a few states... Grrr. Kids are sick and being the anal/nervous parent I am, I have to go check to make sure they are ok. To be continued. . .
