Dear Mom,

As you know, we recently turned 20 months. As such, we are obviously no longer babies, and wish to be treated the same as the other big people in the house—especially at mealtime. The following is a list of important rules that must be adhered to. If you forget any, we will remind you... loudly and possibly by throwing items.

1. The blue bib is for A2. The green one is for N. Under no circumstances should they be switched.

2. We want to eat with bowls and utensils, just like everyone else. We will permit a few finger food items to be placed on the table, such as Cheerios. But don't test our patience.

3. One of us (N) will permit help from you or Dad. One of us (A2) will not. It is better to not even attempt to try to feed A2, because very likely, sobbing will ensue.

4. Keep in mind that statements such as, "No more cookies for babies" or "All done! Time to take a nap" will not go over well with us. We find such statements offensive and will react accordingly.

5. Finally, when in doubt, give new foods a try. If we don't like something, we'll just chuck it on the floor. And who doesn't enjoy cleaning up piles of squishy food?

Love,

The twins

So glad to finally hear from the twins! I had a feeling they had strong opinions on many things that were being censored by their "overlord", dictatorial parents. :)

If you try to feed A2 who will be doing the sobbing, you are him? :). Fun to hear from the twins.
