Notice a Theme?

I take a ton of pictures. Yesterday I downloaded about 75 pictures from this month and noticed my "2010" folder was up to 690 pictures...and there are still two more photographic months left this year.
The pictures I've taken the past few months all have a persistent theme. You can't miss it, in ALL the pictures I have taken!

Twin Support

Teagan had a dry diaper and used the bathroom almost all day yesterday. Just before we left to pick up Ethan at school we had a potty break.
After Teagan was done going potty she ran out to the stroller where Cal was waiting. She hopped up into her seat and here is how the conversation went as I started strolling down the block:

Teagan: "Cal, I went pee-pee on the potty and got a jelly bean!"

Cal: "Good job Teagy!"

Teagan: "Cal, you're a good boy too"

Cal: "You're a girl"

Teagan: "You are a boy and your brother is a boy too"

Cal: "uh-hu"

They are just starting to have real conversations with each other and with Ethan, and it's SO adorable to listen to. They can be so sweet and supportive at times (emphasis on "at times").

Other times you get stuff like this:

Teagan: "Mom, Cal hit me!"

Mom: "Cal, we don't hit. Say sorry to Teagan and give her a hug."

Teagan: (still forcing a cry)

Cal: grunt, frown, head down; mumbles "sorry" very quietly

Teagan: in a teasing voice says, "Say it louder, Cal. I can't hear you."

Cal: walks away and has a minor melt down

Teagan: yells after Cal as she's walking away, "Cal, you need to use your words. We can't understand you!"

Mom: also has to walk away to hide the laughing
