Opposites

A few months ago I moved my twins into their own bedroom. We had a playroom that was not being used anymore because my four year old does not know how to go off by herself and play,unless she is in to something, mostly she thinks she needs to be by your side at all times chattering away. Kaitlynn asked if she could move her stuff into that room and I figured why not. They are both at that pre-teen, I want my own space moodiness, so to keep the bickering down to minimal levels, having them move to separate rooms seemed like a good idea. This is taped to Kaitlynn's door.....like I said, they are pre-teens and not sure where they fit in yet. I find the littlest pet shop stickers combined with the dead flower and skull a unique combination. This was placed on the door because they thought the four year old knows how to read and would actually stay out of their room...hahahahaha
This is on Cheyenne's door, her rules are more specific, like no farting. Once again a warning to Makenzie to stay out of her room. They are not targeting Makenzie just because they are being mean, Makenzie sneaks in their room a lot. One time she snuck in and ate one of those king size symphony bars that Cheyenne had gotten as a gift from a friend. It took her all day of sneaking in and out of their room but she had it eaten by the time they got home from school.....that is only one example of Makenzie's sneakiness....I kinda understand the twins paranoia of the four year old.....she has taken off with my things also.


My biggest discovery of separating the twins is the cleanliness and orderliness of one and the sloppiness of the other. Unfortunately Cheyenne cleaned her room yesterday under strict orders from me so I could not get a side by side comparison. This is Kaitlynn's shelves, neatly organized, everything categorized and put it in its right place. She knows if something has been touched, the clothes are in the hamper and everything is well taken care of. Cheyenne had nothing put away, no clothes in the hamper, books and socks strewn across the floor. All those times of them having to clean their room, when they shared a room, and most of the mess was probably Cheyenne's.



Twins, a quirky thing. They are so much alike that when things emerge that are different they stick out. They both recently found out they need glasses, their prescriptions are exactly the same but in different eyes, one has a left eye that is bad and the other has right eye that is bad but they have the same prescription, just in different eyes. When they loose teeth they are always in the same place, days apart, just on opposite sides of the mouth.
So now I ask the question if they have these strange occurring opposites, which one is the good twin, and which one is the evil twin? MUWHAHAHAHAHAHA..........

  1. Are they both right handed? I have twin nieces who shared same amniotic sac--and they are butterfly twins, one's hair part is on the left, the other on the right. Symmetrically opposite. WIDELY differing personalities, too. One quieter than the other chatty. I will have to ask about cleanliness/cleaning skills.

    Just one more testimony that they come with unique, individual spirits.

    The older my siblings get, the more things we seem to share. No twins among us, but old age, similar backgrounds, similar choices and our shared parentage unite us.

  2. They are both right handed but they have a lot of scholastic quirks...just when their teachers think they have figured out their learning process they mix it up on them :)....they are so different but so bonded beyond anything I can imagine. It is fun to watch them grow and try to become individuals....
