I’ve always assumed that one kid would be eough for me, but something tells me the number changes as your world is turned upside down by numbers one, two, and even three.
By the way, my number was always one. I was quite certain that a single child would be perfect for me. Friends with a single child, no matter what their number had been, suggest that would not stay true over time. One particular parent is adamant that it changes to ‘more’ as number one fully comes online.
If you fall into this bucket let me pass along a word of warning from friends in that situation… they tell me they hope child number 1 will play with and help child number 2. They also tell me that things seldom work out the way you’ve anticipated.
Buying a gift for two new babies… especially if they’re twins.
Close friends of mine welcomed identical twin daughters into the world just a couple weeks ago and I have to admit that I have yet to find the perfect gift to send them. Correction, I HAD yet to find the perfect gift to send them. For anyone out there looking for an offering for twins (identical or otherwise) I suggest you read on below.
WryBaby.com
Ok, this company doesn’t ship to Canada right now, but it does sell its goods through a number of Canadian vendors so if you’re interested they’re still worth a shot. Of particular interest are the “First Born / Runner Up” snapsuits and the “Stop Copying Me / Stop Copying Me” snapsuit bundles. $39.00 isn’t bad… at least I don’t think its bad… but what do I know, I don’t have twins. The real challenge will be having to decide this early in their lives which one will be the First Place child and which will come in a distant Second 
*Twinkle* Kids
I almost lost the URL to this site so consider yourselves lucky. This one’s got a ton of twins-related stuff at pretty much the same price as WryBaby.com (just a bit more expensive). Ok, they’ve got the Salt & Pepper Twin Shirts, the Bacon & Egg Twin Shirts (perfect for vegetarians / vegans), the Milk & Cookies Twins Shirts, A Little Bit Country / A Little Bit Rock & Roll… heck, they’ve even got a set for triplets (divine entity forbid you should be blessed with triplets) over here with Rock, Paper, Scissors.
Ok, that’s it for now. Don’t even pretend I didn’t just save your gift-giving behind with this one
