The girl twin is similar to her in a lot of ways but only to a point. She's weirdly thoughtful (I swear you cn see her sitting around thinking sometimes) and very type A - won't do anything until she's positive she can do it right. It's the damnedest thing. She wouldn't crawl until she could just...crawl. None of this army crawling or inchworm shit. She'd get down for a bit, decide she didn't like the view, sit back up. The mongoloid boy, meanwhile, is scooting all over the place and taking her stuff and knocking her over. And then one day she was just gone across the room at full throat. She was more mobile than he was within 48 hours of deciding she wanted to be mobile. She wouldn't feed herself until she could do a full pincher grip - she refused to do the smash and grab thing. Now the boy has a 2nd meal under his chair while she just sits there and can pick individual grains of rice up. She doesn't like to pull up on things because she can't cruise yet - but the moment she can cruise, she'll do it I'm sure. And she'll probably just skip the toddling phase and go from crawling to running marathons. She's just weird and manipulative. I worry that she's smarter than he all of us.

That mother!@#$ing boy, OTOH...{sigh}. He's the first to try everything and he just goddamn sucks at it forever. He's reckless and I'm pretty sure he's stupid. He climbs on everything, pulls on everything, hurls things across the room, gets into everything - the boy is a wrecking ball. But he's happier than a pig in shit all the time and thinks everything is just the funniest thing in the world.

I was not prepared for the boy. I'm probably going to kill him. Or more accurately just let him kill himself.

And the funniest part is that the two of them don't even look like distant cousins and neither of them look like the oldest. They're all three just a mis-mash of component features that we can generally find on their mother or I. Except for the blue eyes - nearest we can tell is that my mom has 'em but mine are brown, hers are green and nothing else about that lummox having blue eyes makes sense.

Twins are weird.
Sounds about right.

I've got my twin daughters (who are 8 now) and my oldest daughter is 11. The twins are nuts because as soon as we found out that we were having twins....we were so ****ing worried that we'd never be able to tell them apart. We agonized for weeks leading up to the day they were born. We talked about painting one toe nail or making a mark on the bottom of one of their feet. They were born....spent two weeks in the NICU because they came out early....and the first time they took their breathing masks off....we could easily tell them apart. And from that point on....they were completely different in every way imaginable. One is quiet and reserved....the other is loud and all over the place. One likes to sit down and read....the other has to be ****ing doing something. They don't like the same food. They don't like the same toys. If they like the same show....they have to like different characters. Literally the only three things that I've found that they both like are Minecraft, LEGOs and soccer.
