Twin Beds

We have the sweetest neighbors living across the street.  They are two young ladies who have lived through a set of husbands, several jobs, multiple pets and several states.  Recently we were visiting their house and peeked into the bedroom.  I saw the sweetest twin beds covered in sunny yellow bedspreads.  These two ladies happen to be twin sisters and in their older years have found the comfort in living once again together.  It warms my heart to see these two living in such harmony!  

Who knows if my kids will ever choose to live together but I do hope that they can find comfort in each other for many years to come.

Naps

One of those questions that I get a lot when we are out and about: Do they ever nap at the same time? And yes, they do. It is precious.

It was quite peaceful this afternoon while these two snoozed on the couch. They listened to stories until their eyelids grew heavy.

It is more typically the car ride that does it..

on a recent trip to the apple orchard.

So there you have it some documentation that they do indeed nap at the same time.

More twin lessons

Yeah! Eloise lost another tooth.

But I do have to admit that she was driving me a little nuts with this loose tooth. We went through the squeaky phase which sounds a lot like dry snow being crushed with ski boots. We went through the front part being free so she could flick it in and out of place with her tongue. It was hanging by a thread for a week plus. Every other second we were hit with the "Look at my tooth" so I admit I was getting a little tired of seeing it halfway out, sideways, and dangling in her mouth.

So what is a mom of twins to do?

Pose a little competition.. Claudia has a tooth that honestly has months to go but she is a eager tooth puller unlike Eloise my reluctant puller. Given the idea that maybe Claudia would wiggle her tooth out before Eloise, it was within the next five minutes that Eloise lost her tooth. Convinced that if she spun the tooth it would come out, she turned and turned it until it won't go back and out it came.

Twin lesson

Lesson learned: When one twin needs glasses, take the other one too! Eloise failed her school screening and a month later we have two with their first pairs of glasses.
