When life hits weird. Hari is 7 next month. He has been toilet training the past few weeks. He’s doing sooooo well. We are so proud of how he’s adapted to the change. He still needs prompting but he is getting there. Tedi. Tedi is 2 at the end of the month and today Tedi did a we**ee on the toilet. He is so observant and wants to copy everyone with everything. It’s just all so weird. In many aspects it’s like he’s older than the twins. And it comes with such a mixture of pride, happiness, relief, sadness. The lot. And just on a side note - who can be assed toilet training 2 kids at the same time ?! Not me. 🥴😂

Do u know what’s weird…

Having a NORMAL toddler.

Yep I said it, normal. Cos being real… the twins aren’t fu***ng normal. It doesn’t feel insulting or wrong to say it. Cos they aren’t. They don’t do normal stuff. They never have. None of their milestones were achieved at a ‘normal’ time. None of their behaviours are typically ‘normal’ in comparison to their peers.

I’m not one to beat about the bush. Doesn’t offend me when people use the word ‘normal’.

Meanwhile this naughty baby of mine. He’s soooo in to everything. He observes, watches, copies. Gets excited to see people. Oh and he’s a complete as***le.

But as frustrating as he can be a lot of the time… it also comes with relief. Relief that he’s observant. Relief that he gets excited to see people. Relief that I can not do ANYTHING without him bloody watching me and wanting to help. Relief that he is doing the normal naughty stuff toddlers do!

Ok I won’t be surprised if they turn around in a few years time and want him assessed for adhd. In fact I’ll eat my hat if they don’t. But my good god I’ll take it if it’s without the side of autism and the struggles that it brings the twins.

My lad.

Ft Tedi, trying on Hari’s ear defenders cos monkey see monkey do and all that.

Honestly they should have all been sleeping but hearing the unusual sound of Hari & Tedi giggling together made me curious so I went to inspect and nearly cried 🥹😭 when positive interactions are rare it makes them sooooo much more special!
