My twins are loud and rough boys, but they are really good natured. And they are obedient. As a parent, I love that. They really are sweet. They are not perfect, but they are good. Today we had a little twin trouble. It made me laugh a little and it also reminded me of what a special bond the two of them share.
It all started because Jacob told on David. David is lacking in sleep and completely over reacted. He went on to tell about everything mean that Jacob had ever done to him and how badly it hurt him. Jacob replied with, "I said I was sorry!" And David responded, "Sorry doesn't fix anything!"
David is so loyal to Jacob and was really hurt that Jacob would tell on him. Jacob lives in his own happy-go-lucky world without any cares. They are so different in their personalities. After a little discussion between the two of them, they were both upset. Eventually they hugged and ran off to play.
David will not forget what happened. He will store it for future ammunition. Jacob probably already forgot that we had the episode today. It is a hard lesson to learn that sorry doesn't really fix anything. We have to fix things ourselves and choose how to react. It is hard to explain that to a 7 year old and even harder to do.

David and Jacob are such good boys, part of it is because you are such a good mom!!! It's so interesting how our children all have such different personality's.
