All about Two

Two boys  =

a 2 month old (today) and a 2 year old (tomorrow)
It's becoming a comfortable chaos around here in the world of twos.

Two little boy sets of laundry to do.
Two bums to change.
Two heads to kiss.
Two minutes to myself a day.
Two favourite songs to sing, over and over to Silas [Only a boy named David and the 'pokey-pokey']
Two more batteries to replace.
Too many crumbs to sweep up.
Too much to ever get done.
Two sore shoulders from carrying, rocking, holding, nursing.
Too much energy, too early in the morning.
Two alert and engaging personalities.
Two baby blue eyes full of curiosity and familiarity [Toby]. 
Two brown eyes staring up at me with humor, affection, and defiance [Silas].
Two baby dimples: on the cheek and chin.
Two parents to tag team, to work together [Praise the Lord]
Two bodies to snuggle with.
Two cups of coffee in the morning.
Two minutes in time out. Again and again.
Two hours between feeds, sometimes 3 or 4.
Two loud cries, often simultaneously.
Two sticky peanut butter hands on walls, on chairs, on floors, on doors.
Too blessed.
Too overwhelmed.
Two minutes until Daddy gets home.
Two days until the weekend.
Two hour toddler nap, if I'm lucky.
Two treasured gifts from God to raise, to love, to learn patience with and grace for.
Too much of me, more of Him.

Two. 
Boys.

Cannot believe Silas turns 2 tomorrow and Toby is already 2 months.  Time flies when the days are full! {Pictures of Toby and Silas' birthday party up soon}
