Something magical

I put the twins in Emilia's bed this morning, so I could have a shower in peace.  I gave them a box of little figures and some finger puppets.  I left them to it, but then had to pop back in to get something.  Eva had one puppet on her finger, Emilia the other and the puppets were having a conversation (they were saying hello to each other).  How clever, creative, wonderful and cool is that?  I was forced to shed a little tear of happiness.

Of course they had stopped by the time I had manically dashed off and returned with the camera but I got a pic of Emilia with both of the puppets.

I think the terrible twos should be re-named the terrible, tremendous twos with more emphasis placed on the tremendous. Yes there are moments when they are terrible, difficult, stubborn and extremely frustrating.  But then they are so loving, considerate, spontaneous and eager to learn all about the world around them  They seem to be genuine friends and it really does make the challenges of raising two very different babies all worth while.
