Diaper Changing with Twins

     Changing diapers is part of the daily routine at the Londt household.  Each diaper change has it's own unique "fun" with two infants who no longer desire to just lay there patiently while getting their diaper changed.  More often than not, the girls have to be bribed with a toy to keep them in place.  However, changing one baby's diaper can present challenges when another baby is exploring nearby.

     The girls spend the majority of their time playing with their toys in our living room.  Their changing station is in their bedroom, so sometimes I just change their diapers on the living room floor to prevent having to walk all the way back there.  One exceptional time I was changing Miss Jubilee's diaper with her on the floor that was filled with number two.  While trying to change her diaper, Miss Jubilee was not interested in laying on her back.  I didn't have a toy nearby, so I had to try and hold her legs up without her twisting.  In the process of this, I felt little hands climbing up my back!  The girls have figured out how to lift themselves up on things, and it is their favorite new past-time.  Katie found my hair, which was not in a ponytail.  She then began to pull it like she was pulling on a horse's reign.  I then hear Katie start to giggle because she's having so much fun.  With one baby twisting on the floor resisting getting changed and the other pulling my hair and giggling, all I could do was laugh!  This was one of those things that when the girls are older, I will still look back and laugh at.

     The girls are so much fun to have, and God has blessed us so much with them!  Watching them grow and learn new things is exciting.  Even simple things like changing a diaper have become entertaining.
