It Must be a Twin Thing

Zach had tubes put in his ears a week ago. He was such a little trooper - hardly any crying at the hospital. Adam spent the day with a friend. When I got there to pick him up he was crying, "Where Zachy?". Once I got him in the car he was happy. I guess I never really considered they would miss each other when they weren't together. Makes sense considering they are always together, right? 

That night, as the doctor said he probably would be, Zach was so grumpy. Ironically so was Adam. If Zach whimpered, so did Adam. If Zach wanted to be held, so did Adam. It was like that all evening. I couldn't even go into another room without both of them on my heels. They normally aren't that clingy. I expected it a little from Zach, but not both. 

It must be that twin thing I've heard about. If one hurts, so does the other.

When they were still tiny, they couldn't/wouldn't go to sleep unless they were touching each other.  I guess 8 months in pretty cramped quarter will do that to you.   Now they want their own space.... at least to start.  I have several pictures like this one.  Tell me again why we bought two beds?  It isn't uncommon to find them in the same bed in the morning.

It's just so cute how close they are.
