I thought I might be going crazy or at least still have a bit of post partum depression. My baby is now 21 mos. old. I don't have twins but I have two kids and I am terrified that someone is going to steal them or they might get lost. I deal with it the best way I know how. They are with me all the time in the stores. I never leave my eyes off them. If I do I am holding their hands or they are strapped in the stroller while my hand is touching the stroller and I am talking to them so I can hear their voice. It's easing up some. But I am still quite watchful. It's a different world out there. All I can say is Thank the good Lord that I am not the only one that has a fear of loosing my children.

But your kids are so adorable I would be pretty vigilant if they were mine! For moving around with my tribe it just doesn't feel right if someone isn't in sight. I just know straight away that there is a gap... I don't actually walk around counting them or doing a roll call unless we are in a very very crowded place... then I tie a balloon to each arm and they are easier to track. (Yes someone could take a balloon off their arm while I wasn't looking)... but I reassure myself in knowing that most abductions are done by family and friends and they are "relatively safe" in an unknown crowd... I'll stop already - I am not making this ANY better!!! Not very reassuring! But your kids are so adorable I would be pretty vigilant if they were mine!

My ever-helpful grandmother suggested to my young and hormonal mom that one of us be given a small tattoo on our forehead. Luckily for us, Mom found a small white mole on my ear- I grew up with people rubbing my head while saying "Oh hello....Myrnie!" Good luck!! Heh.
