It is also a great reminder that they are their own people and while they share a lot of characteristics, they are unique individuals. Getting to know Everett as he becomes a "big kid" has been an incredible experience, and I can't wait to see who little Eleanor becomes.
Right now she is ridiculously happy, flaps her arms and legs almost constantly, tries her hardest to crawl, has this silly little pterodactyl screech, and thinks her brother is the funniest thing ever.
Everett is a true "three-nager" - full of "I can do it myself!"'s and laying face down on the sidewalk at random instances. But he has a heart of gold and takes care of his sister so gently and lovingly. He is quite musical, he makes up songs and can remember all kinds of song lyrics. He can swim to the bottom of the pool, pick up rings, and rocket to the surface.
These fleeting, exhausting, days are so precious.
