We don't have twins, like your friend, but we've got Irish twins. They're 18 months and 7 months, and yes it's hard - but it's doable. A little planning ahead helps; making sure they're hungry, and rested. Incorporating a little family help works too, and it's a great opportunity for everyone to get together. And distractions are key. Bringing toys, like you mentioned, drink cups, snacks, etc. Just like any other dance, all you gotta do is learn the steps. Daphne,

Although, when I go out, it is with two babies. So, I have twice the fuss, twice the whining, twice this and twice that. That is why, I mainly stay home with my 2.5 year old toddler twins. Great website Daphne. Only wish I had your CoolMom persona. God Bless! Funny how you do exactly what I do, well almost, Daphne. Although, when I go out, it is with two babies.
