My darling 'dhuwa' Joana and Ixayana are back on (computer) screen to delight my world and yours! They are anxiously waiting for my first letter, so think it's time to break my silence.
As they are getting used, I feel that EG to them is nothing else but time for shopping.. let’s go sister! Both are truly enjoying the moment, yet Ixayana with never goes away shyness or bemused expression on her face.
Thinking of them reminds… Gabriela Mistral (1889-1957), a Chilean poet and Chile's first Nobel Prize laureate in Literature. She is most widely quoted in English for Su Nombre es Hoy ("His Name is Today"):
"We are guilty of many errors and many faults, but our worst crime is abandoning the children, neglecting the foundation of life. Many of the things we need can wait. The child cannot. Right now is the time his bones are being formed, his blood is being made, and his senses are being developed. To him we cannot answer ‘Tomorrow,’ his name is today."
The best assurance I have is that they are cared for and nurtured well at the CC during crucial time of their development.
Until next episode of my twin mania, how interesting to see mom, Niza bought identical dolls for her ‘fraternal’ twins. (follow-up added to media)
Such cute photos - very nice!

I love your twin mania chapters and the twin dools are such a good idea.

Thanks for sharing your love. I wanted to highlight a serious point here. In both photos the two children wore different outfits from each other, yet mum chose identical dolls to symbolise 'twins'. As I see, treating them in one way different and another way identical could be quite confusing to little brains. The fraternal twins should be able to enjoy both differential and identical aspects of their lives blend together rather than separately. I'm working on a DP just to show how it can be achieved.. stay tuned!

Rachel, I'm not sure what you meant.. (explain). How would you see if we were to treat 'identical twins' (aka monozygotic twins) differently? Joana and Ixayana are okay with it because they aren't identical.

Chelaka. I think it is goed that they are not always dress the same.. But for toys no problem if they have the same.. they can personalize it later.I have myself 2 children (no twins) and sometimes when byuing them things they do ask the exact same thing.. on purpose just because it is fun to have each one the same toy..

Thanks Marie. Fascinating... yours have the total freedom to flip/flop, do whatever to the same toy to make their own. Is that true with twins? To illustrate my point, psychologically speaking twins share everything to some degree – mine perhaps only 1% whereas monozygotic 99%. Like, drawing 2 circles (size equivalent to, say age), either completely separately (representing yours) or with some overlap (twins). In my view, the twins live with mutual regards to each other. For example, when I start writing to them and trying to describe my city, I'd use one way for Joana and another way to Ixayana, but the same city! They will then see the beauty from each others perspective. More to come in the next episode :-)
