Abi is right on top of the black sofa right now!

What am I doing typing here….threatening them that the dog next door will come here and bark! I hate to scare kids but when your kid hops from the sofa to the table, you tend to rethink the meaning of the word patience.

According to wikipedia, patience is the ability to endure waiting, delay, or provocation without becoming annoyed or upset, or to persevere calmly when faced with difficulties.

The opposite of patience is impatience and that’s an easy emotion to come by when you have twin boys. I try not to be paranoid. No my kids won’t fall and hurt themselves. No they won’t poke themselves with the fork they are exchanging.

Read this if you want to be a patient parent.
