In one of my Thursday classes are a set of 6 year old twin girls, Christina and Lucia.
They are just the cutest little moppets ever!
Christina is by far the most outgoing, talkative and full of questions whereas Lucia is so quiet.
They always sit side by side and Christina will be forever 'checking up' on what Lucia is writing and yesterday Lucia was struggling a little (I think she was tired) so Christina (who didn't realise I'd noticed ) swapped her already completed work sheet and then finished Lucia's for her.
At the end of a class I'll hand out little 'well done', 'good try', etc stickers and it just made me laugh the way Christina looked all proud of Lucia as Lucia was awarded her sticker.
It reminded me of when my twins were about 10 and they had gone on a two night musical thing with their school.
They had been allocated different sleeping dormitories and Jacob was told the next morning that his brother (Conor) had been crying at bed time.
Jacob took it upon himself to go to one of the helpers there and ask if they would be allowed to sleep in the same room together that night and luckily was told yes.
No tears from Conor that night.
The boys never told me about this until they were about 18 and of course, me being me, got a bit choked at the thought of them being upset, even all these years later.
When I asked why they'd never mentioned it their reply was..'because we knew you'd get upset!'
Gosh what a random post this is!!
