So Happy Together

It's amazing how well the girls get along. Gabriella has had an attraction to the twins since she first saw them in the ultrasound picture. She named them in utero and was one of the first people to kiss them when they were born. A born big sister, Gabriella can make them laugh like no one else. Julia and Genevieve love playing with her stuff. Her room is a treasure trove of playthings.
Today after a serious reorganization of the twins playpen I brought in Gabriella's kitchen. Cleaned and restocked I expected the twins to dive right in. When they woke from their nap I revealed their new toy. They hesitantly walked over to it and then casually touched the faucet before moving away. I was shocked, I'd been so certain they would love it. Gabriella came home from school and immediately recognized that her toy was back in the house. She dove right in after she did her homework and the girls immediately followed suit. The copied everything Gabriella did. If she picked up a pot they did too. If she pretended to drink out of a cup, so did they. It was really cute. Gabriella showed them how to use this new toy and they followed her lead. I'm sure tomorrow they will be cooking up a storm.
