Me me me!

1) Your giving spirit.
2) Er.... I can't think of one off-hand. Or rather, I think of lots, pick them up, turn them over, squint at them in the light, and then decide they're not quite right.
3) Hang out, admire your boys, and have you teach me to knit properly.
4) I'm so glad you and the more recent immigrants to Madison get on well, especially the haberdasher, Mellow and the Chickadee. It means a lot to me. :)
5) Seeing your bright red hair at that restaurant, figuring out who you were obliquely, and then chickening out on introducing myself.
6) "That would be a good thing for them to cut on my tombstone: Wherever she went, including here, it was against her better judgment." -- Dorothy Parker
7) What's the thing you like most so far about having had twins?

2. See, that's exactly what it was like trying to pick one for you. I bet the darn thing just hasn't been made yet. grin.

5. You know, I really should go back to the red, shouldn't I? I went back to my natural color around the time I got pregnant (couldn't stand the smell), but now I'm kinda going, "Ech. It's so mousy. Gotta do something cooler."

7. I like that they can play together. I like seeing the two little blond heads next to each other reading books. I looooove dressing them in coordinating outfits (which, I have to admit, I never imagined liking so much). And more than all of that, I love when I can get them both to cuddle up with me while watching a movie or something.

But I think, honestly, the part I like most is the part I liked least initially - that the option to stop at just one kid had been taken out of my hands. Because at this point, I think if we'd only had one, I probably would have chickened out on having a second kid. So at this point, I'm really glad that the whole "Gosh, are we really up for having TWO?" thing is taken entirely out of our hands.

Oooh. Or the other thing I'm really glad about is that having twins meant I could "justify" staying home instead of going back to work after my maternity leave was over. If we'd just had one, I don't think I could really have counted my desire to stay home and play Mommy for a couple years would have been able to trump the financial gain of my working (to me, much less anyone else). Again, having two made it less of a "decision" and more of just, "this is the way it's going to be", and I'm really glad things worked out that way, overall. (Though, you know, it'd be great if Caz could find another job soon - that would make all of this easier. grin.)
