How did you survive?  I know you did because I just visited you last weekend.  Sometimes I wonder how you did it, and you even had 4!  2 year olds can sure be trying, but they are loads of fun.  That must be their saving grace…the joy and fun of a 2 year old.  The amazement at cupping water from your bath and letting it dribble out, then repeating it over and over for 10 min.  Or how much fun it is to run up the stairs and growl, run down the stairs and growl, then repeat as necessary (usually for 5-15 min).  That must be how you guys survived, watching the fun and enjoyment that a 2 year old can have at the simplest things.  ‘Cause I think that’s how I do it.  I love trying to look through both of my kids eyes each and every day.  It really does make you put things into perspective.  The only way to survive a baby or toddler is to experience life just like they do.

Now, the next thing I want to know…How do I survive the next 18 years?…
