Blossoming Personalities

I have to say that one of the best things about having twins is watching them both grow into their own individual people. Despite the fact that they share the exact same DNA, their personalities are still uniquely their own.

Kylee is proving to be our little princess. She loves to get all gussied up in big costume jewelry, my heals, and sunglasses and parade around the house proclaiming that she is "Pretty"! Kylee is obsessed with shoes, and she will find their rightful owner and put them on for them (after of course she has put them on herself and prances around for a bit). She also tends to be more of a social butterfly and warms up to people a lot quicker than Kaylyn does. She has also been known to have a bit of an attitude and can be very dramatic from time to time. She is very nurturing to her baby dolls and loves to feed them and take them for walks in the stroller, where as Kaylyn likes to see how far she can throw the baby across the room. Kylee always has to be in the know of what is going on, what people are doing and where they are. Although Kylee has always been smaller, she is actually our better eater and loves veggies!

Kaylyn is a little bit more rough and tumble and very happy go lucky! She takes everything in stride. She can take a really hard fall and get up and laugh. Sometimes I think this kid is fearless! Kaylyn likes to solve puzzles, put things together and stack and build things. She wants to know how things work and doesn't give up until she can figure it out. She is completely happy playing independently, and can entertain herself for very long periods of time. She also has a love for books and reading, this kid always has a book in her hands. Kaylyn loves being my little helper, and she is a lot more apt to putting her toys away in the appropriate bins.

As different as they can be, they also share many similarities. They are both very cuddly and loving. They love to dance around and put on a show for anyone who is willing to watch. They both love being outside and exploring. They are my little monkeys and much to my dismay they love to climb on anything and everything. They love to draw and color, and make me the most beautiful masterpieces! They both have an amazing imagination, and love to pretend! The bond they share is awesome, and I love that they are best friends!

I feel so fortunate to be able to experience the joys of having twins. Although it comes with its own set of unique challenges, it is by far the most amazing and rewarding thing I have ever experienced.
