Tale Of Twin Toddlers....

Why is it that no matter what you do, there's going to be a bunch of jealousy when it comes to toddler siblings. And this said jealousy is no doubt going to plague me for the rest of my life??

Prime example. We've moved the babies from their cribs to toddler beds. Well, Aaron's parents had a toddler bed leftover from when they kept Collin over night during our college days. So, why buy two of the things when we only need one, right? Well, I found at a local resale shop a Wiggles toddler bed. Perfect for Griffin, who is already showing signs of being a promising singer/songwriter (haha). So, I know that I need to do something special for Erin's bed, as so not to make her feel like the kid who gets the sloppy seconds (though I found out she gave two shits about it and never once complained that her brother had the better bed). Well, Martha Stewart I'm not, but I'd bought all the things to contruct a canopy to fit over her bed, only to have the good old mother-in-law go out and buy one that she'd found on deep discount (though, not five-finger, in case you were worried). So, we hang on to said canopy until we get the time and energy simultaneously to put it up. And, well, Aaron finally found both simultaneously while I was out last night. I came home to Aaron telling me that Griffin was mad at me. So, I march up to their room to see why on earth this little sprite of a two-almost-three year-old could be upset with me. I ask, "Griffin, are you mad at Mommy?" "Yesth," he replies. "I want Thomasth Printhess."

Oy..... I can't win!
