Kids (and sometime adults) when upset tend to react in a way that is inappropriate. And instead of thinking of timeouts as a form of reprimand think of it as a means to get some quiet time, block the external stimuli and cool down a bit. The interesting thing is it seems to work well in children and adults alike. ;-). So all you parents out there, go give yourselves timeouts and with a child take them to a quiet place and don't call it a timeout.

Two babies are indeed a handful, but, as we are finding out - also twice to fun. Arjun and Rohan are not identical (in looks or personality) and we are just enjoying each of them as they go about discovering the world in their own unique way. Shirley – Thanks for your thoughts.

I met my friend at McDonald's last week, who has 1 year old identical twin boys, along with a 7 year old. It was raining and I was already inside when here she came with Joshua, who smiled broadly at me. "Hold him while I go for Josiah," she asked, and she trotted off with her umbrella and left me now holding the baby and a diaper bag. Until that moment I had not considered the logistics of getting two babies into a fast food joint. It was a delightful visit, and she is doing well, but it has been a challenge for her and her husband. Her mom helps out a lot. Sounds like you have lots of help and will do well.
