It’s amazing how young children will pick up on fairness. Since Zoe woke up Katie the other day, Katie saw her opportunity to even the score. Katie woke up Zoe this time “Zoe, Zoe, wake - up!” Turn about is fair play. They need to figure these daily little battles out on their own.
Somehow I think multiples are born knowing that they outnumber their parents. Izzy and Zoe were eating dirt off of shoes by the back door (incredibly gross but a pretty regular occurrence at our house). I pulled them away and cleaned up their faces. Zoe looked at Izzy and said “Do again”. Izzy is of course up for anything replies “Ya!” So Zoe starts “Ready, set (and they both in unison say) GO!” They both ran around me in opposite directions back toward the shoes. Wholly Cow! We definitely have taken things to a whole new level. Yes, the terrible 2’s are here to stay for awhile.
May 29th, 2007 at 10:27 am You are hillarious! I was online doing something else and remembered to check out the blog. I read every post! During which time, Jimmy figured out how to climb up onto the sofa table so there was a little parental trade-off there but I enjoyed the selfish time. Keep up the good work. You are providing a valuable service.
