They are Twins … but they are also one of kind :)

     See those two … their connection is amazing to me. I am an only child and when something broke in my house there was no one else to blame but me, when I wanted to play I had no sibling to play with so I played alone, and I was sometimes lonely.
These two have been together since day one.
Devin was born one minute before Ethan and from that point on the race was on to see who did what first and how fast the other can blame his brother for any mischief they make. I see them growing and they grow so fast , I do still remember bringing them home and wondering   " How am I gonna take care of them and Alex ?" and as they say ; the universe showed me a way.
     I look at these pictures and no matter what they are connected and care for each other. Not just in the most obvious ways but on a deeper level. Ethan watches out for Devin at all times and knows his brother well enough to say; " I don't think Devin would like that  "  or " That's Devin's favorite."  Devin is also in tune with Ethan. Devin likes being the "older" brother and reminds Ethan of it and has no problem voicing his concern or opinion about what Ethan is doing.  These guys work together and also fight and argue ; being both strong willed adds to the disagreements.  But - when you look , they are also love each other and need each other.
     We from time to time take each child on his own to enjoy a day with either parent. The funny thing is the whole time all they talk about each other and always end the day the same way; " next time let's bring Devin/Ethan , its more fun" . So - we work very hard to have variety so that what they do together is acceptable to both. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't , but they keep each other entertained and definitely need that "brotherly" connection.
     My favorite time is watching them sit together  … they like that the other is near and sharing whatever secret, toy , or laugh. Those are the times I sit back and watch them and realize how special they are to each other and how important their relationship is , no matter what.
