“Mom, you’re burning the toast,” Ethan pointed out.

I snapped back to reality and rescued the smoking bread from the toaster. “Thanks, eagle eyes.”

“Can I wear my astronaut shirt today?” Alexander asked, already halfway through his breakfast.

“It’s in the laundry,” I replied automatically. “Wear the blue one with the dinosaurs.”

“But Tommy said only babies wear dinosaurs,” he protested.

“Well, Tommy is wrong,” I said firmly. “Dinosaurs are cool at any age. And Alexander?”

“Yes, Mom?”

“Remember what we talked about? About being kind to the new kids in class?”

He nodded solemnly. “Don’t make them cry even if they’re slow at block building.”

“Exactly. Everyone learns at their own pace.”

“And don’t tell them their drawing looks like Gas threw up,” Ethan added, clearly remembering his brother’s previous social misstep.

I stifled a laugh. “That too.”

Morning routines with twins were chaotic at the best of times. Today, with my mind elsewhere, it felt like herding cats through a water park. By the time we made it to the door, Ethan had changed shirts twice, Alexander had “lost” then miraculously “found” his left shoe, and I’d nearly poured orange juice into my coffee.

“Backpacks?” I asked, running through our mental checklist.

“Check!” they replied in unison.

“Lunch boxes?”

“Check!”

“Kind words for new friends?”

They grinned, “Double check!”

I knelt down and pulled them both into a hug, breathing in the scent of apple shampoo and little-boy energy. “I love you monsters.”
