Journey
April 28, 2010 | Family,Stuff,Twins
It’s official. My daughters are ready for Kindergarten. I attended an “exiting special education services” conference last month. After almost six years of therapies and special education, this is a huge milestone. They don’t just meet the minimum requirements. They exceed them.
I don’t spend a lot of time going back over everything we’ve been through with preemie twins. I wrote a lot when they were in the NICU. I’ve tried a few times to read it, but I can’t. It was a scary, scary time, and I still can’t relive it. I do have to look back right now, though, to appreciate just how incredibly far they have come.
This is where they started: 2 pounds, 12 ounces each, born at 29 weeks, way before their July due date.
And this is where they are now, trying on their first dancing costumes.
This week, they turn 6. This fall, they start Kindergarten. After that, they’ll take over the world.

What a touching story. We can all take a life lesson from these beautiful little munchkins.

Wow! Wow! Wow! I remember when they were born and thinking William was supposed to be *four* months older than the girls, not just a month older. Amazing kids. They will take over the world! Happy Birthday, K & B!

Beautiful. I didn’t realize they had been so early – what little miracles :-) Those nurses and doctors never get enough recognition, tho we try to thank them any time we can. Your girls are just beautiful, and I know where it comes from – you’re a great mom and a wonderful inspiration. Thanx for sharing :hug:
