Ships in the dark

Everyone who has heard that we have twins comments that it'd be so cute too watch them play together. Now, in order for them to play together, they must know that one another exists and that's the catch. At this point, they don't.

We can try to put them side by side but most of the time, Jordan would turn her back on Evan and either one or both would fuss because they know there's a mommy or daddy person around so "why the heck aren't I being carried and why am I still on the bed??"

On occasion, they catch one another's eye and eyeball one another with suspicion. Here, Evan's fussing and woke Jordan up, as all big sisters will do, she put him in his place by tweaking his ear. Thankfully, he was oblivious to the intent and just moved away to fuss some more.















The only time they seem to acknowledge one another is when I carry the two of them at the same time and for some reason, that seems to calm the both down and allows them to coexist peacefully. Perhaps it's the unit of us 3 that they are familiar with. The only problem with carrying both of them at the same time is they weigh a whole lot and I'm deathly afraid of dropping either of them. That would probably entitle me to a big "failed as mommy" sign stamped across my forehead.
