I really think I was meant to have twins instead of having my boys 15 months apart. I am pretty sure God is having a field day watching all the antics in the Litton household.
For instance, bath night the other night was complete horror. I bathe both the boys at the same time, it's just easier that way and they enjoy each others company. Jacob was finished eating dinner, but Colt wasn't. So I decided that I would start giving Jacob his bath, and my husband could bring COlt in after he got done eating. I was done with Jacob far before Colt was finished with his dinner, so that meant that both boys got a chance to take a bath alone. I thought this would be nice for me, you know..spend some one on one time with each of them. Boy, was I ever wrong...
..Colt got in the bath and immediately started to wail. Nothing had happened, it hadn't tripped, stubbed a toe, or jammed a finger, he was just crying to cry...or so I guessed. The whole time while washing his hair he just cried and cried. I couldn't figure it out. Then, finally, he cried out "bubba!" Then it made since! He is so used to have Jacob by his side in the bath, that he was crying because he was alone! Now, how sweet is that?! Just one thing thought, it can sometimes make it a little difficult to do things when you don't have time to wait.
I love my boys the way they are. It's just crazy how to be 15 months apart, the really act like twins. They have to have the same toy, the same food, the same clothes and even shoes! It's quite sweet. Everything little thing they do is mirroring the other. Like just now?? Jacob is in trouble, and Colt is beside himself to get into the room where Jacob is. They just can't stand to be separated. Like twins, I guess...they usually are inseparable, or have that "twin inkling" that something is wrong with the other. It's crazy stuff, and I just wonder...why God just didn't knock it out and give me twins? LOL! But, he has his reasons. I love my boys, twins or not!

That is interesting...I am a twin and my mom said that whenever we were not together, we were devastated. When we were infants, I was hospitalized with the measles and my sister cried for days until I came home. Now, we are very close but don't see each other very often. However, when we are together again, it is like we were never apart.

It is weird how that happens! That is neat that you never feel like you have been apart, I hope my boys feel the same!
Ahhhhhhhhhh, this brings back soooo many memories for me. ha ha ha
I survived those days and now am into the worse days of teens! LOVELY!
