Being a Multiple

We've talked to friends of ours with multiples that we met in Akron during our stay, and we all agree it really isn't fair being a multiple when you are little. Of course as you get older it's great always having a friend no matter where you are, but as a baby when you need attention 24/7 and you expect someone to be there, it's hard realizing you aren't the only one. You don't get that one-on-one time with mom and/or dad any time you want it. But you do learn things at an early age, and that's not all bad. Like patience. Whether it's when you are hungry or want to be held, there is someone else that needs that same thing, often at the same time. Not that Addyson and Aeron don't cry when they are waiting, but they have learned to be patient because they have to. And like sharing. No matter what toy you have in your hand, someone is there to take it away because they want it too. Aeron and Addyson are learning sharing now. In the last month or so, they have become so much more aware of each other. They play with each other, touch each other, and even make each other laugh. It's so much fun watching them interact. And looking at these pictures now makes us realize how quickly they are growing up.
