What Do You Do With One Two-Year-Old and Two One-Year-Olds?

Last week I watched my friend Rachel's twins so that she and her husband could go to the temple. Cannon LOVES Savannah and Micah and he calls them "friends" whenever he sees them. Cannon is in the "mine" stage right now and has been very possessive of me, his toys, and even the dog. But I told him beforehand that they were coming over to play with his toys. We did put away one toy that I knew he wouldn't want to share. Cannon did much better than I anticipated and didn't mind them playing with his stuff.

We colored:


Ate snack:


Played with lots of toys:


They loved the tunnel!




And they loved the dog!








I really got to see their individual personalities. Micah is totally boy! He has a very good throwing arm and would throw anything even if it wasn't a ball. He particularly liked Blue and quickly learned the fine art of tormenting her. He also really like Cannon's cars and trains. Usually when I get to see Micah he is very content and laid back. It was fun to see him laughing and giggling and getting excited about things. Savannah is totally girl! She acts like the leader of the two, maybe because she can walk. Her favorite toys were all the phones and she pretended to be talking to someone. I loved how she would come and sit in my lap, for no reason, perhaps for some cuddles. When we sat down for lunch she wouldn't eat her food until I got her a fork. She was pretty skilled with it too.

We had a fun day and it went by so fast!

I love the picture... You really captured some greatone of Micah (and that can be hard) You totally explained both of their personalities perfect. I call them "the boss" and "the shadow" I think I am going to buy a tunnel for christmas. Thanks again for watching them.
