We don't really have a top 10 yet, but here's today's top 2 signs that we must be parents:
#2 Scott had a bunch of snotty tissues in his pocket at the end of the day
#1 Chrystal got peed on! (I'd say that is a serious initiation!)
Perhaps bringing the girls apple juice wasn't the best idea. They tell us that Lexi is potty trained, but we know that means she's on a strict potty schedule. Throwing random juice boxes into the mix didn't fare well today. That's okay. It actually provides a nice little bonding time for us (the snack time, not the pee pee time). We have the girls sit on our laps for drinks or snacks. It's quiet. Usually they gently ask us for more. We've had to work on the gently part. It started off as, "DAI!" Which means GIVE. Then it was "MAMA, DAI!" Now they seem to realize that there is plenty to go around. They share with each other. They'll share with us. It's just nice.
Today was one of our best visits with the girls. Nothing major to report. They just seemed much more comfortable. Baby steps, baby steps.

Oh the joys of parenthood! Isn't it amazing how you don't even care that these gross things happen because you love them so much!? Glad to hear your visit with the girls was a little more encouraging. You'll have your ups and downs, but those ups will help sustain you through the harder times.
Isn't being a parent great! Even the gross stuff we don't mind. It's so awesome to hear you talk like this. Baby steps are good! Like you said there is plenty of time.
