This is a lovely post. For me, the development of loving and sometimes competitive relationships was one of the unexpected pleasures of parenting.

Naaah. it can't be, her twins are too old... It isn't me though my sons are nearing 2 but they have been super bonded since the get-go and I never worried about it. Stuck them in the warmer 2gether the second they were born and had them cosleeping next to each other, they still sleep w/the cribs (soon toddler beds) shaped in an "L" to pass toys back and forth and giggle and entertain each other. I am an idential, my grandma a fraternal, my boys fraternal. IDK my mother fostered wicked competitiveness between us kids so my twin and I were never close she looked at me as a "rival". My grandma and her twin were very, very close. I think it has a lot to do with personality and also parenting. Because my mom got a kick out of seeing her kids compete for her love, I do the middle ground thing. Which is, don't wish for them to compete for my love and don't foster it, but foster love and compassion between the both of them, while trying to maintain full independence (we will have them in separate classrooms in school). I'd love the big reveal of whose blog you are on Mel and who wrote for you! I am having a dual blogging thing happening this week called "From Hero to Zero in a Nanosecond" which my friend Jenn, mom to 5 boys, will co-blog with me about the challenges of parenting when the DH travels and in her case, when she is a single mom... and the kids start with the indepdendence... especially boys, who are so close to their mamas when they are young. My DH travels and is home for a month and wowza. I have gone from Hero (primary caregiver) to zero like nothing flat! It will be funny w/pics as always! Happy Tuesday to everyone... Kym?

I have some ideas of who it's not, but none of who it is. Looking forward to checking out her blog (and Mel's post) as soon as I'm done with this comment! This post was so sweet! I just love the "no cry" and peek-a-boo exchange. Wonderful! I’m admittedly not so good with guesses from the avec list! I have some ideas of who it’s not, but none of who it is.

I bet you two were matched because of the twins thing. I was matched with mine because of the age thing. Oh, joy. I guessed correctly, too! I bet you two were matched because of the twins thing.

When I was in high school, I had not one but three different palm readers predict I would have twin boys. I never took stock in it, until the realization that DE/IVF carries the real possibility of multiples! So it's funny when your guest poster mentions the stories we create in our heads about how we envision things to go - I've got those same wistful fantasies from time to time, but I think the real fun is seeing how it plays out. This was a great post from a truly caring parent. How exciting it must be to see this twin relationship develop! Ok, I can't resist any longer, I've gotta go click and see if my guess panned out :) My guess is that it’s Stacie from “Heeeere Storkey Storkey” – I checked the Xpol list and saw she had twins, but I’ll click the link after I comment to check. *crosses fingers*
