Milestones

Milestones are happening left and right here at the Childsplay household. I’ve documented Bri’s scooting and it is important to make note of these. After all, this blog is a de facto baby book for the twins so they’ll have a record of their childhood when they’re an old fart like me.

But not every milestone is as exciting or glamorous as the next. For instance, I have scoured the baby books and the baby websites and I have found no reference to this interesting milestone:

The first time your child kicks you square in the family jewels.

Bri had this honor yesterday morning. I had her on our guest bed and was changing her diaper when I leaned over (I don’t remember why - probably to give her a kiss) when she summoned heretofore unknown powers and kicked me square in the testicles. Daddy’s knees buckled slightly but, like a boxer getting hit below the belt, I shook it off and continued the diapering.

But from now on, all diapering will be done from the side.

  1. LOL. Get used to it, the little darlin’s will continue to do that at the most inconvenient times for many years to come.

    Every now & then I still hear a sudden yelp from Mr A while he & mstr A are playing something innocuous (like scrabble!) & come running in to see a bemused Mstr A watching as daddy curls up in a little ball with tears in his eyes.

  3. Yeah - don’t really wanna discuss this - I still feel the lead weight in my gut thank you very much.

    Little Dub has also taken to headbutting - I feel sorry for the first kid who tries to take this little guy on in a fight - he certainly will not be fighting fair

  4. Mrs A is right, guys. Just wait until their legs are stronger and just long enough to get you almost every time you pick them up.
