| The twins waiting around at a Dance Competition |
Being the youngest two of five, our twins are constantly traveling all over the place as we transport and watch their older siblings do their thing. Last weekend was a marathon of dance and this weekend they'll be hitting a H.S. track meet.
No need to take pity on our little men, they have it pretty good getting to go all these places and meet all sorts of people. They tend to make friends where ever they go and if not, they always have each other.
They take away some pretty amusing things from their many varying experiences. Football season with oldest brother JC had Cormac frequently asking "You tackle people, JC?" to which JC always explained "only in football, Mac." JC's success in track has them asking lots of questions too. "You eat all your breakfast and win in race?" "Sure" agrees JC. JC came in 2nd & 3rd in events last weekend. "Did you eat all your breakfast?" was the big question.
There is much to pick up at the dance competitions and conventions too. Cordelia's main love is Hip Hop and the twins will have much to thank her for later. They will likely be the only ones in preschool who can not only sing the "ABC song" but can also rattle off lyrics like "she shot me, she shot me, bang bang, she shot me" or even "Applebottom Jeans, boots with the fur".
It's not all observations either, their amazing ability to parrot people has inspired 2nd oldest brother Hayden to teach them what to say at events. They had phrases like "you jump like John Wall" all set for Hayden's basketball games.
So don't worry about those younger siblings being dragged around endlessly. I think ultimately they collect invaluable tidbits of wisdom, coolness, and "go with the flow".
