Our cat has to go on anti-depressants. Apparently it is stressed (can't imagine why) and that's why it keeps peeing everywhere. We draw the line at a pet psychologist. I think half its problem would be solved if we could keep Kate away from it.

We had a gathering on Sunday, of some friends from twin group and some other 'normal' families. We didn't really think it through because there were a lot of children! Still it was a brilliant afternoon and we even got to sit at the outdoor table and eat. It did get a bit chaotic, especially when they all had a chocolate icecream. You wouldn't believe the places 20 + toddlers, all under the age of 3, can drop icecream. Surprisingly the above said cat was nowhere to be seen. Poor old Looney made a brief appearance only to disappear down the side of the house. The triplets were most upset so their parents had to tell them the meow-meow had gone to work as this was the only thing they understand.

Kate's language is really developing, no swear words yet. She has an ever-building list of words, some easier to understand than others. She likes to copy everything we do, hmmm must stop kicking the cat.

Aiden (and Kate) loves to say 'no'. It comes out as "nononononono". You can always tell how close Kate is getting to him by how loud the no's are.

We've started Kindergym, a special twin one which equates to lots of 2 year olds and some stressed looking adults. Really, it's not that bad. Poor old Aiden takes awhile to warm up to things and just as he gets into some activities they expect him to move on. Kate found the trampoline and refused to get off. Aiden got up on with her and the lady came over to let us know it was one child at a time. "Oh sorry didn't know that," I replied innocently not looking at the 6 foot sign right in front of us. She tried to help get one off. Ha! As if, that's why I had both of them on there. I ended up having to entice Aiden off with a loud toy with lots of turning parts. Welcome to the challenging world of twins lady!
