We've got a set of Twins in our house...
Not what any of you might be thinking or incredibly confused by... HA!
As most of you know, this Mama (aka: me) is not able to have any more babes from my own body, let alone twins. Nor are we in any way, shape or form in a place where we would even think about expanding our family, at this time. Although, could be something we think about a bit while down the road...
However, Maggie Girl has a bit of a "twin". :)
Ok, so they don't really look a like.
And, Maggie is "technically" (according to her, of course) the Mama, and her "twin" is her baby.
But, apparently being Mama and Twins is one in the same (again, according to Maggs).
She and Chloe are now TWINSIES!
Maggie couldn't be more amazed, thrilled and just thinks it's the coolest thing ever!
After the initial look and (we think) confused thoughts about how she and Chloe looked the same, but not really the same... she realized they had the same... PAJAMAS!!!!
That, in itself, is very very FUN!
Her initial reaction looks as if she's a bit
confused. She can tell that there is something familiar, but at this
point isn't quite sure what it is ... yet!
(Maggie is obsessed with taking off/putting on all of her clothes "BY HERSELF MYSELF!". Which is what she (LOUDLY) & proudly announces each and every time she gets dressed/undressed).
(side note: not only did she put her new jammies on "ALL BY HERSELF MYSELF", she also (with a tiny bit of help from Mama, changed Chloe "ALL BY HERSELF MYSELF")!
Still taking it all in, she began to realize that she and her (#1 Favorite Baby Doll) have the SAME jammies! Her expression shows a bit of annoyance, and she was indeed ... annoyed, with me. I asked her to turn around (from looking in the mirror, so I could take her photo with Chloe, in which she sweetly obliged, but she still wanted more mirror time to check herself and Chloe out)!
Both Maggie and Chloe spent a lot of time in front of the mirror, checking themselves and their cute new "outfits" out... along with singing and dancing together! :)
(Something Maggie LOVES to do, with or without Chloe)!
What a happy girl!
(ps. yes, that is indeed her "special" Snow White Princess brush laying on the floor... it makes her (Maggie) have Princess hair... duh!). And, it is also used on Chloe, to get the princess hair look, too!
The "Twins"
Smiley and Happy Twins (yes, Chloe has a big smile on her face),
even though you can't see it, due to Maggie taking all of the spotlight! That's our Girl!!!
Now this Mama is going to need to start looking high and low for more "matching" pj's... as I have a feeling when the weather truly does become spring/summer like, and summer pj's are in order, Maggie is going to want to wear the same as Chloe... EVERY NIGHT! One pair for the summer, is not gonna do it! :)
And....yes, I think I'll have to put my foot down when it comes to matching Maggie/baby doll outfits, and keep the "matchiness" to pj's ONLY.
Foot is already down on matching Mama/Maggie outfits... that is ANY outfit. :)
Hope you enjoyed our twinsies!
They are both now fast asleep, I'm sure dreaming of their "future" wardrobe, together...
(ps.) I found this "matchy set" at Kohl's (of all places), and Jackson happened to be with me. (we were actually there to find a gift for one of his classmate's birthday party).
He was such a good boy, in going in the girl section and taking a quick peak a look at all of the cute spring/summer little girls clothes!
FYI: If you've been around Jack lately, he has a BIG thing against girls. (???) No one in particular, just the entire gender. His dislike is basically anything do with "them" (ie. girls) or really even the mention of "them" (again, any girls!) ...with the exception of me and Maggie... Thank Goodness! Or this incredible dislike could become a HUGE problem! We're hoping with a bit of time, it shall pass.
Needless to say, Jackson was NOT at all impressed by the matching outfits, (other than stating that Maggie and her baby were going to have the same "dress"). Nightgowns are a whole new phenomenon in our house. Maggie, of course, LOVES the idea... a dress and she is allowed to sleep in it? YES!
Jackson, on the other hand, wanted to make sure he would NEVER EVER be sleeping in a dress, let alone a matching one, regardless of who he "matched" with!
He did clarify to me, quite well, (just in case, I were to go to far in the matching kiddos with their "babes"), "Mama, I don't want to have the same jammies as any of my *guys. None of my guys... EVER!". HA! Point taken, Jackson... and thanks for the reminder, in case Mama does one day, take it a bit too far!
*guys = Jackson's bazillion stuffed animals that he has always referred to as "his guys". :)
You may be seeing more matchy jammy outfits with Maggs and Babes, but probably NONE with Jack and any of his guys! He'll be modeling more important things... like the 4 (!!!) Robots he's made in the past week! I'll try to get some pics of them (Robots, as well as Jackson posing/showing off his hard work of building his Robots!) to post soon. He is so into robot making, and incredibly resourceful when it comes to finding recyclables to use/add to his Robots. We are proud of our guy, his imagination is AMAZING, and his fine motor skills are continuing to improve and grow in ways we are just so impressed by!
Can you tell we are two very proud parents?
All it takes are some matchy-matchy pajamas, some mega Robot making and we're bragging to the world that our munchkins are geniuses... which by the way, in case you weren't aware, BOTH Jackson and Maggie are nothing short of pure Genius!
