I’m not sure if it a twin thing or a sibling thing, but it seems like the twinzies go through the old swapperoo every few months. For quite some time Shenzie was the easier and Heaten was just hard, hard, hard. As you can guess Heaten is now so easy and fun and Shenzie is just crazy. If I wasn’t so lazy I would go back and find older posts that I’ve written about this to see what ages each were easy/hard, but the lazy wins (not to mention my time just came to a halt and the twinzies are awake and yelling for me).

So we survived our first week of preschool. The second day Shenzie cried even harder and ran over to me, wrapped her arms around my leg, and just cried. It was heartbreaking. “Mama, I go to work with you…..MamamamamamammaMAMAMAMA”. Luckily Jeff was with me again and talked me out of whisking her away. And of course she was fine. Miss K said she only cried for a moment and then played happily the rest of the time. She tells me she had fun and played and wants to go back so I’m hopeful the crying will soon end. Although I really don’t know how hopeful I should be since she is addicted to Mommy like crazy. If I go upstairs she screams and yells for me until I come back down. The times I leave for work on the weekends she cries when I go. She is just really all about the drama and working me, and sad as it is, it totally works. I hate to hear her scream and cry. I am such a sucker! =)

Heaten seems to be doing VERY well. That little boy has undergone a HUGE transformation. A few months ago it was like tantrum central around here with him throwing things, falling to the ground like a crazy person, whining, crying, and just utterly annoying. These days he is so happy, content, lively, funny, and VERY hyper. The better his speaking gets the happier he is. I am SO happy that he is finally able to communicate and not get so frustrated with everything. What a difference it makes.

Here’s to hoping the next swapperoo miraculously has them both on the easy, happy road which will make Mama a very happy girl indeed!
