They aren't babies, but most people guess the twins are about 3, but they will be 5 in November. They are just small. Poor kids will still be in car seats when they are in 3rd grade I think. Big sis, at 7, has graduated to a booster seat and is so proud to be able to latch and unlatch her own seat belt.. although sometimes you have to help by feeding her some slack in the belt. She is out of it before we can get around to open the door for her.
Last spring the bigger twin told me while we were going from pre-school to day care, that "girls can't play basketball".. I told her they could, but I don't think she believed me.. until.. the next weekend I was helping my daughter take them to a shoe store for new tennies. There was a middle school, probably 8th grade, girls basketball team outside the store doing a fundraiser. I took her to them and said "This girl says girls can't play basketball" Boy did that set them off. :) They all rushed over and were telling her that they all played, and she could play too. Then I told them how old she was and said "well, maybe guard". She's got the aggressiveness to play that position, that's for sure and for certain, but height is going to be a problem.
Big one calls me Grandpa, while the little one still says "PawPaw". She can say "grandpa" she just likes "PawPaw" better. Big one tried to correct her, but I told them that the little one can call me PawPaw if she wants, as long as she can say grandpa, which she can.
Thanks for the update....I remember them being small, and one smaller than the other.
A sign of growing up...able to do your own seat belt. LOL!
How opportune that you found the basketball players at just the right time. Little in stature can still be wicked accurate making baskets. Gotta get started young! d:o)
“I am independent!! I know what you call him, but I like what I call him.” LOL!! Sounds like maybe a twin thing.
