This evening, JT, Alexander and I had a family outing to see William and Keisha perform in their second school program. Their first performance was their preschool graduation in June and tonight was the first Christmas program.
Along with their kindergarten class, William and Keisha narrated and acted out the birth of Jesus. JT even [...]

On Wednesday, September 23, 2009 at 8:40 a.m. I was blessed to bring a wonderful baby boy into the world. His name is Alexander Richard and at birth he weighed 8 pounds 2 ounces and was 21.5 inches long.
I have not written on my blog in over 3 months and there are many reasons for [...]

Happy Independence Day United States of America.  This morning started off very gloomy with lots of rain and cloudy skies.  This fortunately allowed the entire family to sleep in late.  The twins woke up before me… I know because I heard them, but JT and I were able to sleep until 9:15 a.m. and I [...]

Happy Father’s Day to all the fathers, grandfathers, uncles, godfathers and anyone else fulfilling the role of a father.  A special Happy Father’s Day to the love of my life, my husband, my soulmate… JT. He is a wonderful father to our twins, William and Keisha.  And I know he will also be a wonderful [...]

The graduation ceremony last Saturday was everything that I thought it would be plus more. The turnout was very nice for a classroom of about 21 children. There were many loved ones and friends supporting the graduating preschool class of 2009. William and Keisha, along with their classmates performed songs and dances in the [...]

On Saturday, June 13, 2009 my wonderful children, William and Keisha, will graduate from headstart.  My husband and I are very proud of them.  They have learned so much over the past school year… things like: writing their first and last names, counting to 100, improving on handwriting skills, letter recognition in words, spelling two, [...]

William and Keisha will be five years old this fall. This is so hard to believe and what has me even more in shock is that they will be going to kindergarten this fall. My twins are now officially registered for kindergarten, thanks the applications that I filled out and the hard work of [...]

Saturday night, JT, mom and I ordered out for Chinese food. We decided to feed the children first, because one: William and Keisha were already hungry and we had not ordered yet. I gave them catfish nuggets, salad and pudding for dessert. And two: we knew that they would not let us eat in peace (as usual). So I fed them as planned, then about 30-45 minutes later they went up to their room to play.

Downstairs, we watched a movie while we ate the Chinese food. My order was simple this time, half order of chicken fried rice and crab rangoon *drool*. About 45 minutes into the movie, I heard Keisha crying on the baby monitor. She seemed to be in distress, so I dashed upstairs. I walked into the room, waiting to see why my daughter was so troubled. I looked at her and she has a toothbrush in her hand and toothpaste all over her hands, face and everywhere in the room.

I started feeling like my temperature is rising, but it is only me getting pissed off. I held most of the anger inside and instead of giving a nice little whooping, I decided to stay calm and collect. Keisha continued to look at me, wondering what the hell I was going to do to her. I began looking around the room for the tube of toothpaste but I could not find it. I asked Keisha where the toothpaste was, but she shrugged her shoulders like she did not know what I was saying.

I grabbed some wet wipes and cleaned her hands and face. All throughout this time, William was hovering in the background. I would love to know what he was thinking. I asked Keisha, why she opened the toothpaste and squirted it all over the floor, bed, toys, stuffed animals and herself. She looked down and did not say anything. I lifted her chin up and directed her toward me. I told her that the toothpaste is not a toy and she should not have squirted it everywhere. She started to cry and I asked her why she was crying… “You did it!” She looked at me crazy but stopped crying.
