And the "no TV" thing is excellent. Especially in their formative years they need real Human contact and warmth and interaction. As opposed to TV and computers and cell phones....
Actually, I think they would be better off without those things for at least the first 4 or 5 years......
Do you have pets....? (Jimi? Hendrix?)... - I know you have a full plate right now, and dogs are demanding pets...
But cats are really low-maintenance. And clean. And not too expensive.
And kittens and little girls can be SO mutually beneficial, in so many ways, on so many levels...
I hope you can consider a kitten for your girls in a year or two. I really think it would be good for them.....
I have a young fellow working for me who I recently hired for one of my Summer businesses..
He's only 23, - but he's married, because 3 years ago he found out that his Girlfriend was pregnant with Twins...(also Girls....)
And he's doing everything humanly possible to protect and provide for his fragile young Family. He's only 23 himself.
It's that irresistible love for his babies that's turning him into an unselfish, self-sacrificing Man at such a young age......... - I love seeing that..
I have no problem giving guys like that good jobs. And decent pay.

And the way they're holding hands (feet?) in that picture....
My two girls were also born close together. Not twins but close enough that even now in their twenties, they know the have soulmates in each other. It looks like your girls will also have that blessing.

I just saw some of your earlier questions Drooly. Hendrix passed away 4 years ago and Jimmy died in July last year. Shaun & I were with him when he died, a months shy of his 14th birthday. Jimmy would have been great to have around the girls. We plan to get another dog when they are around 3~4 years old. We had to get the cats fostered (Elvis now) Hobbes died a few months ago as it's impossible to have a cat in this apartment AND two frisky babies.
