best toddler toys boy image
Our toddler is acting up and getting more easily upset since our twins were born. I realize there is a regression, but not sure how to handle it correctly. Any help would be appreciated.
LOL, Martha. I don't think it is a sin......
Answer
I agree with your other poster. Get your toddler to help with bottles and diapering. Have her hold one of the babies on her lap. Praise her for being "such a good big sister".
I'm a mother of twins myself. My boys are adults now. Never buy two of the same toy. They'll leave one sit and fight over one, even though they're identical items. Lay them down to sleep in the same crib. It makes them feel more secure. My twins had separate beds but still slept together until they were 12. They are going to have that deep spiritual bond where they're glued together and you never see one without the other. They're also going to be extremely competitive and fight like cats and dogs, sometimes coming to physical blows. Don't worry. It blows off, they're best friends again and forget all about it in 5 minutes. Warn their girlfriends or boyfriends that if they date one twin, they date the other because he'll always go along. One girl told my son it was her or his twin. He said, See ya.
Always take the one who cries the loudest first and tune the other ones out. They're just going to have to wait their turn. You only have two hands. It's okay to prop bottles when you have twins. Use one feeding dish and one spoon. Go back and forth between the two babies. Saves lots of time and crying. Buy the kind of stroller where the seats face each other or you have one seat behind the other. Side by side strollers won't fit through checkout counters or narrow aisles in stores.
Don't get too discouraged when you hear rude comments about birth control or "Oh, you must be busy" for the zillionth time.
Email me if you need any pointers. Will be glad to help.

What is the best toy you ever bought your toddler?

I am looking for toys for my soon to be 2 year old twins. They don' t play with very many things and I was wondering if any mom's or dad's have any suggestions.
Sorry - they are b/g twins. I should have said that.
Answer
Well, I'll write this for both boys & girls...and assume they share. All of these are really fun and have occupied my kids or my friend's kids for a while.
Wheely Bugs - These are adorable soft ride on toys. They are a huge hit with kids 2+ years old. Gender neutral ones are the bee and cow.

Busy Go & Grow Giraffe - Another ride on toy that is a great option for toddlers.

Monte Carlo Car - One more ride on option. This is the ultra-sporty car for a boy and the same car for a girl but it's pink with flowers.

Mega Maze - My kids love to play in this and they really use their imaginations. It's great if you have room for it. Toy says for ages 3+ but smaller kids can play with it too.

Monster Bowling! This is a great toy for twins because they can take turns and play with it together. It's plush so it's pretty safe too. Kids think these little monsters are very funny.
