I noticed today that the girls like to stick together when they’re playing. Even when they have a large area to explore, they tend to cluster in the same corner. I suppose that their comfort in close quarters makes sense, given that they were nose-to-nose (or head-to-rear or foot-to-forehead) for over 7 months. I sometimes wish I still had sleeping in the same crib, just so I could see them snuggle. But then I remember why I separated them in the first place: nose-to-nose positioning turns into finger-to-eyeball, head-to-rear turns into knee-to-mouth, and foot-to-forehead turns into, well, kicking foot-to-bruised forehead…which all turns into unhappy, sleepless babies, which turns into unhappy, sleepless mama. So, separate beds it is. And although I can’t see them snuggle in their sleep, their joint playtime kind of resembles cuddling, don’t you think?
Here’s a video clip of the girls playing in the corner of their playzone. I’ll warn you, it’s not very exciting viewing, but it gives you an idea of how well (and how noisily!) the girls play.
