This week the babies got their first teeth so tandem babywearing was the only way to keep the screaming at a minimum while leaving me with a free hand to help the toddler use the bathroom (which probably deserves a separate blog post, as well as several poems celebrating this triumph). To be fair, Harry was only moderately fussy, but Violet (who is moderately fussy on the best of days) was a terror. Job satisfaction has been at a low this week, you know?
Totally unrelated: so apparently most Americans pronounce "Harry" and "hairy" the same? Really? My mind is blown. They're different in my (northeastern) accent, as are Mary, marry, and merry. Do you all pronounce them the same? Can I just say how grateful I am that Harry's real name is Henry?

That picture is *forgive me* sooo funny! Violet's face is priceless. And I pronounce those names differently.... especially Merry and Mary and Marry............ but let's face it, I live in the South so most of my neighbors would botch them all.
i'd pronounce them differently, but im annoying and i like to pretend im british-which is why i occasionally throw a 'U' in a word it doesnt belong-like flavour, colour.
the twins are adorable. and frankly,when i see a mama of twins, i try not to say anthing at all. there is no advice i can give.
people just need to know when to go stuff it. seriously. rock on with your bad baby wearing self.
