While the look nothing alike, and act nothing like - they still have some rather "twinny" moments sometimes. (Yes, I know that is not a real word!)
When I was pregnant, I heard that when twins (or other fraternal multiples) get older, they play with curtains between them, and this simulates how they were in the womb - with a thin layer of amniotic lining between them. They did this yesterday. It was fun to watch! They also did it in other forms yesterday - between a window, and then between playground equipment with holes in the floor. Yes, some of it was probably a kind of anticipatory game - but the curtain game was different. Amazing!
Then, we were eating lunch yesterday. Whit was saying something, and I was having a hard time understanding what he was saying. I didn't have any visual cues, because I knew it wasn't about the choo choo that he was making with his pizza bites, nor was it about eating. He kept repeating his phrase, and each time I tried harder and harder to understand his key word. He was saying "Where my .......?" I had no context clues, and nothing was fitting what he would be looking for at that time. I told him, "I'm sorry, I don't know what you're looking for." He'd repeat it. "I'm sorry, I don't understand you." He repeated it one more time. "Whit, I don't know where it is!" (Hoping this would at least get his mind off of it so that he'd eat!) Then, Chap looked at me and said, "Whit say where his TRAILER!" He emphasized trailer as if - you are crazy... don't you understand your own son!? Then, Whit said - "Trailer!" Yeah! Mystery solved! Thanks, Chap!
And then, there was this moment...
Won't they make sweet daddies one day? Shhh... don't tell Maggie, though! They have "her brothers" - aptly named Chap and Whit - babies that Corbett and I gave her when the "real brothers" were born. They have remained two of her favorites! I can also use it as collateral later in life, don't you think!! With all of that pink surrounding them!
