The twins are so funny. They have discovered they can be friends and play together the last several months. However, a problem arises when they both want to play with the same toy or sit on my lap or one wants to watch Diego and the other wants to watch Dora. Brie is most often the culprit of any disagreement, she likes to provoke Cami. We're working on this and consequently Brie spends several minutes a day in her highchair for timeout. If they can't work it out and stop fighting over something I take it away. Then they're both mad at me. I can deal with that, I'm trying to teach them to be nice to each other and learn how to share.
The other day Aaron and I were in the front yard and the twins were playing on some toys. Cami pulled Maddie's old tricycle out of the garage and Brie HAD to have it. She pulled Cami off. I ran inside and brought out a ride-on toy hoping Cami would be happy with that. It worked for a minute. At one point Brie stopped and leaned over to Cami with a kissy face and they kissed and hugged each other. I think that was Brie's way of apologizing.
Tonight they had fought over another toy in the playroom upstairs while I was making dinner. Maddie had intervened (she is so great with them) and straightened it out as best she could. Cami came downstairs crying and Brie was almost right behind her. Brie leaned in to give Cami a hug and they embraced and kissed each other. They are increasingly aware of others' emotions and will comment when one of the their sisters is upset: "Cami sad" or "Bee sad" or "Manni sad."
I think they're learning!
