It appeared the babies were learning to be helpful. They have figured out how to get the wipes out of the wipe dispenser and knowing I am the one who uses the wipes, yesterday my little girl decided she could hand the wipes to me while I was changing the her brother's diaper. That was nice. It lasted one day.

Today might have been a better look into the future. One baby pulled out a bunch of wipes in rapid succession and made a break for it. The other baby, noticing that I was distracted, saw an opportunity to escape diaperless. The first baby swung back around to confiscate the unattended dirty diaper.

There was a moment there when I was unsure of my ability to get the situation back under control. I saw myself giving both of them baths and having to clean the carpet before we had even eaten breakfast. I wanted to go back to bed. I managed, but it was close. Too close.

I see it, it's just around the corner. They are going to double team me and this RA mom is going to need to be very creative to survive.
