Here's a picture of Rowan and Evelyn playing this evening. This little stroller is for dolls, but they were taking turns pushing each other around the house in it, occasionally chasing the dogs.They play so well together. It is one of the most wonderful things about twins--their ability to share, to play, and to think of one another. Sure there are times when it's "me" and "mine,"just like any toddler; but so often I witness them playing together in ways that other kids their age aren't doing yet.
I have read that small children will become attached to a transitional object--a doll, or blankie, or stuffed animal. It is something that makes them feel safe and happy. Yet for twins their transitional object is the other twin.
That being said,they don't always play so great with other kids. We took them to the park the other day and Rowan was very insistent that she was not going to let this little boy play on the playscape with her and Evelyn. Rowan stood at the stairs with Evelyn behind her, pointed her little finger at the boy and said, "no" in her cute baby voice.

So cute they are! Looking forward to seeing you guys this month. Hope we can get our kids together for a bit. All the girls can poke the baby (he's used to it now ;-) ).
I can't wait until my two can play together better. They are only 14 months apart, but poor baby boy gets inadvertently beat up a lot by big sister. Everyone keeps telling me that in 2 years they'll be like having twins. I can only hope so!
