My sister often asks me if Jacob and Hannah, the twins, fight. The answer is no. The level of peace and cooperation between the two womb-mates is unbelievable and, I think, fascinating. However, the next two in line, singleton 1 and singleton 2, regularly clash in a battle of wills. This morning, I woke a little late, and was greeted by this scene. I asked why the cereal boxes were providing fortification and Hannah replied, "Oh, that? They didn't want to see each other anymore so I made them screens." Here's to good cheer(ios)!

Sibling Rivalry

I was thinking yesterday of the time you told me that Jacob and Hannah also share quite willingly, the singletons not so much. Lots to be said for being a twin. They know from the get-go that the world does not revolve around them alone. The rest of us have to learn it (painfully).
This has definately happened at our house too with the cereal boxes! Scott often reminds me of his great-grandmother's wisdom for keeping children from becoming too self-centered: "Just keep having more kids." No guarantee they won't fight though!
I love it! But, of course, they will be best of friends when they grow up. Oh, I can't wait to see Barry's Bay in 15 years.
Love the photo!
Absolutely quite normal behaviour for siblings - one minute they can't stand each other, then you turn around and they're the best of friends ... and the cycle keeps repeating itself - actually if kids didn't do this, I'd wonder how "normal" they were.
I remember these things with my sisters and the dividing of the bedroom and God help you if you weren't by the door when the lines were drawn!!!!
