Baby Squared

I worked at a daycare in  the "wobbler room" (18-23 months). We had identical twins who would speak to one another as they were falling asleep. They would lie on their mats, look at each other, and hold hands. One would speak what sounded like total gibberish to me and the other would solemnly nod. Eventually they would fall asleep.

It was amazing and I always wondered what they were saying!

I love their conversation, ridiculously cute.  My twins are almost a year old, they aren't twin talking yet.  Although yesterday, one twin fed the other some cheerios that was a pretty cute interaction to witness.  I can't wait for the conversations to come.

Although not twin talk, my twins can be across the room not even looking at each other and one will catch the other one's yawn

I don't get much chance to hear Michael talk to other toddlers.  I'm sure he does at school.  I used to eavesdrop on my nephew and nieces talking to each other when they were a little older.  Still really cute.  But it is fun when they start incorporating other peoples phrases.  

Yesterday Michael's daddy was in his way and he told him to "Scoot!"  Which he had to have gotten from school, sinc ewe don't say it.  We get bossed around all the time with a wagging finger.  "Don't do dat!  Not nice!  No sad!  HAPPY!"  As if the way to cheer people up is to yell at them.

Adorable! I'm sure they're still a handful but I'm guessing from your recent posting that you're kind of going through sort sort of a "golden age" with them, which is exactly the case with my family (my son is the same age as your girls). I wouldn't say things are easy, but I'm enjoying this wonderful stage so much...

My son is great at unexpectedly repeating stuff I say, and hearing him say them makes me realize I'm kind of annoying sometimes! (And the accent from my hometown which I left 14 years ago is still not completely gone, apparently).

My girls are 17 months apart so ALMOST like having twins...I love hearing them converse back and forth..some of the things they come up with just make me giggle...We also have the same problem with bed/nap time...they go to bed at 8, but they talk, play until much, much later...we tried separating them, but they just cry for eachother for about the same amount of time that they would be talking and playing..The four year old also seems to understand the three year old much, much better than anyone else seems too.

My identical twin daughters are almost 2.5 and we had to separate them for their naps right before they turned 2.  They would just talk and play rather than actually sleep which made for a very long afternoon.  We kept them in the same room at night because they were fine going to sleep but it's starting to take them longer and longer to settle down.  But they have so much fun together and their little conversations are so cute that I don't want to put them in separate rooms for bedtime too.

So precious!  My girls aren't verbal yet but they will still babble and play with each other through the crib rails at nap time and bedtime.  At this point it's only for 5-15 minutes so we just sit downstairs and enjoy their sweet chattering until they go to sleep. :)

I have an almost 2 year old singleton and am here to tell you that you don't always need a twin to talk...and talk...and talk before and after naptime. She loves to talk to herself. The other night, we had put her to bed and heard her chattering, so we snuck close to listen. My favorite line? "I'm breathing through my nose!" Not sure where that came from, but there you have it.

My Eric will babble and blah blah blah at Harrison like he is telling him to do something and gesturing wildly at him. Sometimes Harrison seems to understand, sometimes no. Eric is the bossy one.

How cute that they were talking to each other about having poop and that is was okay. Cute. My boys will both start up a game at the exact same time and seem to know the rules and I always find that fascinating.

My younger sisters (22 months between us) used twin talk when they were little.  While I obviously don't remember any of it, my mother says that I could interpret what they meant even though I didn't speak with them in their "own language."  My sisters are now in their early twenties and still have a tendency to tell stories in tandem because they so frequently finish each other's ideas

Maddie and Riley's only "twin talk" is that they have the same nickname for each other: YaYa. I think it was Maddie's early attempt to say "Riley," which is tough one with the R and the L. It came out something like YaYa, which has stuck, and they continue at age 2.5 to use it with each other.

I recently came across your blog and have been reading along. I thought I would leave my first comment. I don't know what to say except that I have enjoyed reading. Nice blog. I will keep visiting this blog very often.
