Mya and Kyla are continuing to surprise me every day. Mya has officially made it up a flight of stairs, and back down by herself. Kyla now points to things she wants. The funniest (and stressful) thing about them lately is the fights they get into. It is normally over a toy such as tupperware or a favorite book. Mya is the instigator, and will take EVERYTHING from Kyla. Kyla is pretty easy going and will normally find something else to play with. However, she is getting smarter and has learned to put the toy behind her back so Mya cannot get it. This sets her off and get ready for a fit. Mya flops herself to the ground, sometimes face first (blood has been shed) and literally starts flopping like a fish and screaming. It is crazy to me that this has come so natural to her, and I do not know what to do besides ignore her and not give in. They can be so mean to each other one minute, and so sweet the next. They grab at each other clothes and pull each other hard, straight down to the floor. Then they are later giving each other kisses and laughing. A day with twins is full of the unexpected. Mya has learned to read books (not literally), but she gets a book and flips through each individual page and jabbers. Yes, the book is sometimes upside down, but it is the cutest thing ever none the less.
She is also really into putting smaller things into big things, then getting them all out and putting them back again. I have a feeling she is going to be my big helper when it is time to clean up. The both love dill pickles, and could eat them all day. They also love tapioca and scrambled eggs. They love to chase each other and climb over anything and everything. If there is a straight road to their destination, they will choose the one with obstacles. I am having so much fun with them, even though it can be stressful at times. Who wouldn’t have a great day when you wake up to your two kids talking and laughing with each other in their cribs?
