Playing Together

Hmm.. it's been hectic around our house and I'm not sure I know exactly why. I think it is just one of those stages. And it seems like with two, the difficult stages are coming on a little more frequently! What's funny is that usually when one baby is unhappy, the other will give you a break (USUALLY). Lilly has just been a little more high maintenance lately. But she is also sweeter than ever, making it impossible to stay too frustrated with her. :)

People often ask me if Nate and Lilly play together. My answer, right now, is definitely NO. They play next to each other sometimes, but not together. I took some pictures last weekend of this phenomenon..

I'm interested in what other moms of twins or two children close in age experience when it comes to this? I hope soon they will actually play together (and maybe even.. DUN DUN DUN.. like each other!). They were jabbering at each other a little while I was taking these pictures. Truthfully, they are always talking and being sweet in the bath tub and sometimes in the morning when I am getting them both ready, so I don't mean to make it sounds like they are always hating on each other. I just look forward to the day when they can understand that we can give both of them attention (will that happen?), and if one walks up while I am reading a book to the other, the one I am reading to doesn't have to smack the one that just innocently walked over and throw a fit. That would be great!

How about mommy holds both of you and reads the book to both of you?!? Ahh, What a concept!
