Motivation

I've always said this twin thing is quite enjoyable, in fact other than a few hair pulling episodes (on my part) I've felt quite in control of the whole situation. I've also always said, that the babies can't go anywhere on their own and that makes it easier, well, that is about to change.
Little Red is about to become mobile. He already rolls around and grabs anything his chubby little hands can reach, but just last week he finally got up on those knees. He's still kinda wobbly, but fearless. Nothing motivates him more than a discarded TV remote control on the floor.... or his poor little chubby sister still lying on her back, immobile, unable to even roll. Nothing make him happier than to "play" with her, he enjoys stealing her Binky, poking out her eyes, pulling on her clothes, and occasionally biting on her hands and feet.
Poor little Sweetie is a little delayed in the movement department. We recently had her evaluated and although she is slightly behind with her fine/gross motor skills, the therapists believe she will quickly catch up with a little daily therapy. For now we've invented a little early warning system, Peanut and Walnut watch the babies play on the floor and if Red is about to get into something, they come get me. As for Sweetie, she's got a warning system all her own...if she sees Red even looking in her direction she starts screaming. Perhaps Little Red is just the motivation she needs to get moving...problem solved.
