My twins:"We are husband and wife"

My husband and I burst into hilarious laughter earlier this week when my twins claimed strongly that they are husband and wife. They were apparently trying to "emulate" what we had told them about our relationship.

"Both of you are brother and sister", we said.

"No! We are husband and wife!",they both said simultaneously. Despite several other attempts to explain the different kind of relationships, they had chosen to ignore what we had said.

It is kind of interesting here because in some ancient Chinese beliefs, they believed that twins of different sex are reincarnation of husband and wife in their past life. That's if you also believe in reincarnation. I began to wonder if that's true for my twins........though it sounded silly. *smile*

In any way, we decided to let this little "husband and wife" dialogue rest. Most likely, it is just one of those young kids' interesting dialogue or small talks that tickle your life.

Amazed by the twins' dialogue

The twins got a mild flu infection yesterday. And when they woke up early this morning, the first thing that Gwyneth said,"Mommy, I have a flu, so I don't need to go to school today........Di di (her brother), you'll go to school alone today."

Asher retorted by saying,"No....I am also sick, so I don't need to go to school too!". I was a little intrigued when I heard this dialogue. This two young kids actually knew that the "outcome" of being sick was that they could rest at home. And they were thrilled!

Have they not settled in the childcare centre and enjoyed their friends' company? I wondered. Or they just simply love the freedom they have at home of not following a time-table? Maybe I would have the answer much later?

Touched by the twin beautiful soul

The twins woke up today and realised that their daddy is still sleeping at home. Gwyneth asked curiously why was the daddy still at home and wanted to wake him up. I stopped her and told her that the daddy is sick and needed some rest. She asked politely if she could "pet" his dad's leg to show empathy in his dad's "condition". I declined and she did not pursue further.

And so the twins went to the childcare centre. As I could not bring them back home today, the daddy went to pick them up.

During dinner, my husband told me that he was caught by suprise when he went to pick Gwyneth in the centre. She had actually asked my husband,"Daddy, are you feeling better?". My husband said that he was so touched by this beautiful soul of her.

Feeling bliss with the twins!

I want to remember this momemt - feeling bliss with my lovely twins around me!

I have never felt this kind of internal peace and bliss during my twenties. Now perhaps with the kids, everything I did became more purposeful. In fact, when my husband and I knew we were having twins, and further more a boy & a girl, we felt elated and really fortunate. I mean, having twins is already a bonus, this perfect combination is like striking lottery - TOTO ok!

So in fact we name them, Asher and Gwyneth, meaning "being blessed and fortunate".

This feeling of blissfulness have reached its most harmonious stage in particular this few months, after their 3 years old birthday. They are interacting with you, truly interacting, for example, Gwy said,".....mummy, if this toy is spoilt, you'll buy a new one for me ok?". "Mummy has no money to buy a new one, so.......", I replied. But Gwy said,"...mummy, then why your wallet has money?....". hmmm......*laugh*

It's that kind of defining moments that made your day!
