The girls, now 2 years and 3 months, have really started holding conversations, playing cooperatively, and getting affectionate. And while twins are great and amazing, bedtimes can be tricky, as they go to bed together, but don't always fall asleep together.
Late last week we were having one of those nights where they were obviously tired and obviously not going to give in to an easy sleep. So, after prayers, Good Night, Moon, and multiple songs Randy and I tucked them in and said goodnight.
Mae immediately decided to pull her bed down to the floor and make a nest. Eve moved from the bed they share over to the other twin bed. Fine. They both had about five blankets each at this point. As they were ramped up, Randy stayed downstairs and held the door shut (we can't babyproof this handle b/c it was installed too close to the door frame)
After about a minute they quieted down. Then Randy heard the following:
"More blankies" said Eve, plaintively.
"Ok." replied Mae. Rustling was heard as she stood up and handed her sister another blankie.
"More bankies." Eve said again. And, again, Mae got up and gave her one.
"More blankies." for the third time. And, for a third time, Mae obligingly got up and gave one to her sister.
"More blankies."
"No, Ebe, go to sleep." Mae said, settling down in her not-quite-so-cozy nest.
The admonishment apparently worked, as Eve quieted down, as did Mae, and they soon fell asleep.
