Lately the little girls have been really cute in the way they play and hang out together. They love each other so much and definitely do have a special bond. They hug and kiss each other when they are hurt (or to make up after a fight, ha ha), pat each others cheeks or shoulders when they are both nursing, and help each other out by getting or giving up stuff that the other wants sometimes (not always though, of course!!!). When one is having fun or laughing at something, the other ones eyes always light up and often they seem almost as happy watching the fun than actually participating in it. In the early mornings, if one has been sleeping with me and the other in their room, they both are so happy to see the other and settle in for a good cuddle.
Yesterday, they were entertaining each other playing peek a boo in the living room curtains. They were having a blast and talking and laughing together. Sadly, no pictures or video of that one, but it was funny in the moment!
I absolutely don't expect them to always be like this, to always "get" each other or even want to spend time together -- they are unique individuals and I am sure they will struggle with their twinness as well as enjoy it sometimes. But these moments, which happen so often these days, are really sweet and definitely a heartwarming part of having twins!
This is so sweet. They are so adorable. Now, do they wake each other up sleeping so close to each other?
