Now, at age 2 we see the dynamic toddler duo of Jade and Sky as they truly become best friends. Also, we start to see them both learning how to handle each other, their emotions, their feelings, their happy days as well as their sad ones. It's a lot of emotion sometimes for 2-year-olds.
I thought about what are the things to teach them now. To start laying down the foundation. Especially with 2 babies and 1 mom, we have to do things a little differently. Serving each other, taking care of each other, being kind to each other is so much more important. Being a twin, someone their exact same age (vs dealing with separate maturity of an older or younger sibling) they had to learn some things a little quicker and different. Specifically how to communicate together, and how to share.
This book is great for any toddler and parent wanting to teach some of the foundations of manners.
My name is Julie Yorumez and I wrote these books for my twin daughters Jayden and Skyler.
Being a single parent of an infant can be busy. Being one of twin infants can be very, very busy. Often days blur between picking up, cooking, cleaning, diapers, bath...
I remember one special day with the girls at 2 months old. I finally was feeling more confident as a mom, learning the girls' idiosyncrasies. One day, the worry of what to do faded and I just enjoyed them. It was perfect. We finally got in the groove of trusting each other and just having fun.
I don't want to forget all these little moments with my girls. I don't want to forget the simplicity of a simple day. I don't want to forget watching them learn about each other and the world.
Every year at Christmas, I've committed to giving the girls a new book based on our adventures together.
With this, I hope they see how magical my time with them has been, and how much I love celebrating their simple moments.
I know other moms feel this too and it's our honor to share a glimpse of our beautiful, loving chaos.
