Beautiful Madhouse

I sometimes wonder what being a twin is like.  I watch Birdie & Hazel  fight like crazy sometimes.  They know exactly how to piss the other one off royally.  I recently noticed that they are starting to be more affectionate with one another when they are shy.  Birdie will often reach out and grab Hazel’s hand.  I nearly cried the first time I watched them strut down the sidewalk holding hands the entire way to the park.  Is there a magic twin bond?  They would also hold hands when I would nurse them together as infants.  I really hope that they always have a strong connection.  The sweet part is that their older sister Mia is very much included in the group.  The three of them have bonded even more after the birth of their twin brothers.  I also need to make sure Mia (my singleton) doesn’t feel left out being a non-twin.  Knowing that her big sister Bella (my step-daughter) is also a singleton makes her feel a special connection with her.  I also watch my 8 month old twin boys Luke & Rocco interact with one another and can’t help but wonder about the twin connection.  Maybe being a singleton I ‘ll never understand.  I just make twins but don’t know what its like to be one. Maybe they will have magic twin super powers and change the world.  Twin powers unite!!!
