Nuala and Bran have really been into pretending to be little doggies the last couple of days. The picture is not of them being doggies, obviously. Just imagine it. (But do please notice that they're both smiling!! Like I said before, that's the real reason it's in... ;) It's so fun seeing them grow and do all these cute new things!! I love it. The thing with the "woof doggies" is, someone (yes, me...) made the grand mistake of pointing out to them that doggies sniff each other's bums to say, "hey! how's it going!?" or rather, "who are you?" or even, "hmm...you should really lay off the cheezits..."
And now that's the favorite pastime of these little canines, sniffing each others' rears. What makes it extra special, is that often they're naked as their birthin' day, and if that's not the case, they WANT to be. As in, they think to fully appreciate a bum sniff, the diaper must be ripped off. Ewww. This is what we hear: "Noona! Bum-bum, do!!" or "Ban, bum-bum!" followed by a good long sniff or two, and then squeal upon squeal of laughter. Good times, good times. I can't wait to share all this with them when they're 13 and will be so. grossed. out. I will definitely take the bazillion licks I get as doggy kisses over that.
I guess if we just had ONE two-year-old, the absence of other bums to sniff would be a tremendous disappointment, or he or she may take their bum-sniffing tendencies out on non-family members, which could be a tad awkward. Or maybe, just maaaaybe, the child would forget about sniffing others' posteriers and save their poor little noses from that fate. But as that's not the case, we'll go ahead and chalk up "Ready Access to Sniffable Bums" as another bonus of having twins!
Annnnd....this is our 300th blog post! Go us! That's a lot.

Why would I hafta wonder which one of OUR children would be capable of teaching HER very small children the scientific reasons behind dog sniffs! Hah Hah Hahx100..... I could prob write more efficiently and faster if I could quit laughing :) The picture is priceless .... that was the first thing I noticed (of course) ...that they are both, at the same time, wearing big smiles! Thanks for sharing .... now maybe I can go walking b4 I hafta peel off some more layers... (since the temp has risen from 27 at 7am to 54 now ...10am) love, Mom (Dad too) xox
Lol!!! That is too funny...I'm thinking the bum smelling will end when it goes horribly wrong for one of them ;) And congratulations on your 300th post!
hahahahaha! I loved your mom's comment! I have to agree...you do teach your kids weird things at times...Do they eat like dogs too? Congrats on the 300th post!!! It seems other family members have quit blogging and defected to facebook only. hmmmmm....don't know what to think about that...it's not the same...keep it up please! I love hearing about your lives.
Hahaha, that's too funny! Knowledge is power. You can never know too much or teach too much, hahaha! That is a REally good shot of them too, they are so cute!
Hmm...I'm trying to decide which I'd rather have. My own "doggy" likes to bite people...I'm thinking I might prefer the bum-sniffing. At least no one cries when they sniff each other! LOL!
I love the pic of both of them smiling! They are SO CUTE! I would also like you to know that Rowan recognized them right away and correctly identified both. YAY for cousins! We can't wait to see you guys in a few months! (Mostly because it will mean I'm not pregnant anymore and right now, that sounds really nice...)
Eew! Funny though. My kids really like to pretend they are dogs and they lick eachother. Jack loves being licked and just laughs. I, on the other hand, think it is disgusting!
I love the picture of your 2 smiling kiddos! And WOW! That's a lot of posts! I love reading them. Thank you for all of you stories and pictures!
Okay, how do you know it was your 300th? Did you go back and count them all? If so, wow, you are special.
Dog sniffing? Yeah, I could see that happening if our kids were the same age, but having a difference at least one of them thinks its disgusting.
Oh'yeah, cute picture of the kiddos too.
Hey, just got caught up on your last couple posts. It looks like you all (I mean- ya'll) have been having a lot of fun. As for the bum sniffing... maybe half the fun is the adrenaline rush of not knowing if you are going to get nailed with a present! Like a new extreme sport?
At any rate, at least now you have some great blackmail for future years--bum sniffing will be so much worse then the regular nude bathtub shots!

No, no, no! I didn't go back and count them all (come on, I have 2 2-year-olds, am I gonna waste my precious free time like that!? ;) On your blogger dashboard, very first thing, it tells you how many posts you have on your blog and the day the last one was published. That's it, nice and easy!
Yes...I need to get pics of this. Serious gross-out factor for future Nuala and Bran...it would only make the story that much better if/when one of them gets a "surprise", heeheehee :D
That is too funny. Gwen and her cousins went through a similiar phase- minus the bum sniffing, thank goodness. But we took the opportunity to draw puppy noses on them and make some ears out of socks and threw them in the fenced off dog area of the kitchen- where they sat happily contained for an hour or so. So, if I needed some kid free time- it was "Who wants to be a puppy!!!".
Hey Fiona! =D I have heard that you use to work for National Geographic. I had a few questions if you did. my email is 7ess1ca@gmail.com that way we don't use up all this fun blog space. The kids are so grown up since I saw them! =)
Hilarious. Yes, an awesome pic.
LOL - Amy (2.5 years old now) is into pretending to be a cat. She IS an only kid (for at least a couple more weeks) so she practices her cat greetings on us and on our friends. Last week, when we had a friend bring her daughter over for a playdate, Amy walked on all fours, meowing, and rubbed against their legs to greet them at our door. It's funny because we do NOT own a cat, Josh is actually REALLY allergic to cats, and most of our family members have dogs...so I have no idea how or why Amy became obsessed with being a kitty cat, but she does love it so! Ha ha ha. So maybe if you just had ONE two-year-old, he/she would be a cat instead of a dog. And maybe that's why Amy is a cat - because there are no other doggies in our house with tushes to sniff...hahahaha.
