Twins

Dear Hunter and Connor,

I don't talk about this a lot with you, being a twin. I want you to know that I see you as so much more than a twin. You are both your own sweet little person, growing and changing every day. However, I do want to tell you a few things.

 I have loved every minute of having twins. Watching you cuddle together as newborns. The way you would always turn in towards each other or wrap your legs around each other. The way Connor would get so hungry and suck on Hunters nose, and the way Hunter could not sleep without Connor in the bed. As you grew older watching the two of you interact and play together, not able to talk but clearly communicating. You would giggle at each other so much and Daddy and I would sit and laugh, wondering what on earth you two were talking about. Then in the next breath you would scream at each other over a sippy cup. How we bought you each your own full size bed only to have you two take turns in whose bed you were going to sleep in for the night, because you couldn't sleep apart.

Now, you're four and we know what you're talking about. You still think you are just as funny. Constantly giggling at the other one. Then in the next breath screaming at each other over a dirty room or a toy.

You are opposite in every way possible and I think that makes it all the more fun! I love the way you can be so annoyed with each other over something little and then jump to each others or Kaylee defense if I try to step in. 

You are best friends. Right now you don't realize how rare that is, to grow up with a best friend next to your side every day. But I do. I realize how lucky I am that God chose me to be your mom. I get to see your bond grow stronger every single day. I get to watch two best friends grow up together. I love it.
