Ok, I have to share this, and I am sure some of you more experienced MoMs have had this happen...
My boys were nursing this afternoon (I was sitting up on the floor cross legged, and they were sort of kneeling in front and chowing down) and the one looked over, while still latched, and pushed the other off the breast and starting sampling his side! Naturally, the victim was not happy, but I had to contain my laughter! This is the first out and out naughty thing they have done - and he really had a naughty look on his face! I wonder if he was thinking that the other twin had the better side?
On another note..can I complain? My boys are teething (I assume) and are nursing like crazy! I checked out the No Cry Sleep Solution from the library which had helped a lot with our sleeping around here, but I did not get too comfortable too quickly by a few nights of improved sleep! They have been nursing at night for sometimes 3 hours straight! When they are latching they manage to chomp down just a bit so I can feel their little chompers (classic two on top, two on bottom) , and I am getting these sore ducts or something
which I assume is from increased feedings? What is that? On top of that they did not nap very much today (wake at 6am, 20 minutes nap at 9, 10 minute nap at 3...although one twin passed out in the backpack while I grocery shopped). And I spent all this time trying to get them to sleep because they were out of their minds tired and crabby and at the same time felt guilty for neglecting my other children. Wah! Horrible horrible day. Wah. Oh wait, there is a smilie for that:

And yes, I, at one point, had to leave the room and sob on the bathroom floor and my big kids came in to comfort me, poor things, and after asking why I was crying, my daughter said, "Why did God make it so hard for babies to get to sleep?" I squeezed out something about maybe growing in holiness or something, but was still wondering the same thing. All I could think was, "it won't always be like this..." And it's not now. I blasted those little kittens with ibuprofen and Hyland's teething tabs (the trip to the store was needed!) and they sleep soundly now! I also picked up more coffee for tomorrow. Ohhh...I just got a little butterfly of happiness just typing the word "coffee"....ahhhh....
Blarg! Thanks for letting me blarp all over the place. Wisdom from anyone who has experienced such poo?
