I still believe that Singleton Baby Parents have no idea how us parents (and grandparents) have to adapt in care for our twins. In the past, I have tried to ‘warn’ a few expecting parents of twins on how THE FLOOR will become your best friend during the first year, at least.

I vote for the loofa. If you’re not too proud to consider it – you deserve sweet, soft knees

Ha! This hits home because I put on a dress for the first time in God knows when last weekend to attend a wedding. On the drive there, I noticed my knees looked rough. I kept rubbing them and Chris asked me what I was doing. I realized it was from spending all day on the floor with the babies. I’m going with moisturizer after baths. Now, if I could just bathe regularly…:)

You earned them – you’d better keep them. Melissa and Julie are correct about the horse business. I recommend doing some weight training now to prepare your arms and back to support the weight of both kids.

Keep them. They are part of being Daddy. (and I agree with Melissa, they’ll come in VERY handy when playing horsey next year.)

It will come in handy when you are being the human horsie in a year. I’d keep it for sure.

A little Ponds Cold Cream will soften those calluses.

Nice work! To crawl around enough to develop calluses? I’d wear those bad boys like badges of honor.

I have crazy dry patches on the tops of my feet from changing diapers on the carpet.
