LaLaGirl – Twinfinite Chaos! Parenting Multiples and Dealing with Autism

Actually, that’s a lie. I was TOTALLY THIS COOL IN 8TH GRADE. You can ask RaeJean.

I stole Kayley’s digital camera and found DOZENS of self portraits, almost all in the same pouty-lipped pose. There were probably a dozen just of Kayley and her best friend Taylor, and here are a few of those. I actually remember how hard it was being almost 14, feeling like a grownup, wanting to be taken seriously, but still acting like a kid most of the time. Part of me wants to break out the camcorder and capture some of their smart assiness, so I can show it to them in five years and watch them cringe! The other part of me wants to hang out with them.

And holy cats, can you imagine what life is going to be like in our household in another eight or nine years, when I have THREE teenage girls?

Pablo got Kayley with the hose., originally uploaded by lalagirl.

We were enjoying a nice summer evening outside, watching Paul mow the grass. Pablo was playing with the hose, using it to clean sidewalk chalk off the bricks, when all of a sudden he lifted the hose and sprayed water in Kayley’s direction. She let out a shriek, which he found to be hysterically funny, so he got up and CHASED HER across the patio with the hose, completely drenching her with water.

This was about the funniest thing I think I’d ever seen. Something about seeing a 4-year-old chasing a 12-year-old, laughing like a maniac the whole time, just cracked my shit up. I couldn’t stop laughing. Kayley was THRILLED by this! She gave me a big bear hug before she went inside for a shower!
