What would make an 18-month old insist on wearing pink wrist bands with soccer balls on them? She found them at my mom's house and has basically refused to take them off since. I have to bribe her at bath time and I'm hoping they aren't a hazard to sleep in. I've talked about her fixation on things before, like a fascination with pumpkin garb way past Halloween. She's over that now, but wants to wear her Christmas pajamas five nights a week. My girls are identical, so shouldn't they both be obsessive compulsive? Perhaps I can enter them in a twin study and we will be soley responsible for determining the exact gene and cure for this form of mental illness, thereby winning a Nobel Peace Prize or similar. (And if you think I'm donating our time, think again. Show me the money! God, I hated that movie.)Also of concern today: My disdain for Jenny McCarthy. I need (more) therapy after catching up on her blog at Oprah.com. Opes needs to rethink several of her affiliations. My thoughts here.

precious picture. they are beautiful. that would be an interesting twin study. i am always captivated by twins. my mom is a twin, my sister has twins, and my grandmother had twin siblings. i am not having any more children to avoid the possibility. take care.

BTW, my mom's twin also has twins. can't believe i forgot them.
ReplyDeleteMy older daughter still, at 3 1/2, will obsess over certain objects for days at a time. When she was about two, she carried around a wire mesh colander for a week - that earned us some interesting looks when we were out running errands.
ReplyDeleteI'm just wondering why your mom had pink wrist bands with soccer balls on them.
ReplyDeleteOur youngest wore a bee costume every day for almost a year. She is no longer obsessive about things. She is 8 now. So, hopefully it will pass. And by pass, I don't mean to the other twin.
ReplyDeleteYou have GOT to read Newsweek this week--the one with Oprah on the cover. It's a moral imperative!!
ReplyDeleteShe's just adorable. I still remember when I was a kid, a friend of mine had younger twin brothers. One of them acquired a pair of plastic glasses and refused to remove them for the better part of a year. He also insisted on being referred to as Egon (from Ghostbusters). Not suggesting she's going to create an alternate identity for herself (they were a pretty strange family, even without the Ghostbusting toddler). But even he eventually outgrew it!
ReplyDeleteHi! Must go read your bit about Jenny. What is with her and Oprah? Annoying. Anyway could your girls be more gorgeous? I think not They're perfection!
