The babies are now 27 months old! We won’t be referring to them as babies much longer…they are toddlers now and really cute ones too (yes parents tend to be biased towards their own).
Not a day goes by where we aren’t surprised by something they’ve learnt or said. They make us laugh and they make us want to cry out (sometimes), but at the end of the day there’s something special about hearing the pitter-patter around the house and we certainly don’t take that for granted.
This is such a wonderful stage. Observing our little guys become communicative is surreal – it demonstrates how amazing the human brain is and how capable it is of learning and advancing. Frankly, it boggles me how much the kids are learning and picking up on their own. Every moment of the day offers a new experience for them to learn from – whether it’s sitting during bath time and watching them analyze how water flows from one jug to another, or learning to take a risk and jump off the couch.

JJ got a haircut! The truth is that mommy and daddy couldn’t part with cutting his hair too short. It’s an iterative process! KK also got one, but it was just a small trim.
The house is full of singing these days. Popular tracks include “the ants go marching…”, “Two little trucks when out one days….”, “the wheels on the bus….”
We’re also hearing lots of mis-pronounced words that are just so cute:
“granola bar”…”gralola bar”
“popsicle”…”popcsicle”
"triplets"...."chicklets"
Sentences that come out of nowhere… that make you wonder how they learnt that.

"Get down get down and move it all around” (yes it was a Backstreet Boy song)

Most Challenging Part of this Stage?
The challenge of this stage is certainly about learning how to encourage the right behaviours and discourage things like screaming, pushing, hitting, pulling hair etc. Screaming is probably one of the more challenging ones, and it’s exasperated by always having to share toys amongst siblings and compete for mommy & daddy’s attention. Certainly, being consistent, fair, and catering to three different personalities is not easy to do.
