Bond??

I have been asked lately what type of bond do your girls have being twins/sisters is it different since they are twins? I had to think about this one since I see their bond daily and it is unbelievable.

Does their bond run deeper than a sister bond though because they are twins? I really do not think it matters because the bond they have is very special. Being a sister, I think a sisterly bond is special and being a mom of twins, I think that a twin bond is special too. Either answer will work for me. However I know they have a really special bond.

They are together all the time. Bathe together, sleep together, eat together, play together, go to Baili's doctor appointments together, go to the pumpkin patch together, anywhere we go they go together. Period. They don't know any other way. Kirra will not let Baili go see the doctor without her watching. We try to take her outside to play during that time and she screams. She wants to be with Baili. She and Baili LOVE each other and have to be together.

Kirra has had times alone when her sister is in the hospital and she stays back. Since babies or children can not go to visit. Hence who would want their baby in there unless they HAVE to be? Kirra is different without Baili. She is very needy and quiet and just not herself. Baili is very happy alone but needs me to play with her the whole time. She LOVES her sister. Kirra talks and plays with her all day. As soon as K wakes up she says, "sissy, sissy, sissy, sissy." Sissy is Baili and she is usually still asleep.

They hug and kiss all day long, literally. It used to just be K grabbing B for hugs and kisses but now Baili will crawl up to her and hug and puker up her lips! K brings her toys and shares all the time, do they share, yes!! Very well too. Do they fight? No not really ever. Will they have this bond forever? I sure hope so. My Mom did with her twin Uncle Tommy and my Aunt Carolyn did with her twin Uncle David. It doesn't just go away. My girls shared the same uterus, and bed in NICU after everything...they have been together since creation and birth.

So when people ask me how do you do it? That is so hard. Oh my God, that is to much. Yes strangers will let me know what they think... I think in my head "it's easier having two and it's special having two." I DON'T think it is harder and it is so special. Who gets to take naps together, bathe together, play together, go on walks together, go on play dates together, go to the park together, eat together, trick or treat together, dress together, go on planes together, dress alike together, visit Papa together, do fireworks - okay watch them together, go to the beach together, play in sand for the first time together, touch the ocean together, taste the ocean together, build sand castles together, check out animals at the zoo together, lay with Mommy together, and never be alone every single day??? My girls do and it is phenomenal.

I hope this answers the question a tad. Their bond is indescribable but I tried to explain it a little.

With Love,

The Mama
