If you were a twin...

You could ask her to get your wipe (toilet paper) when you use the potty (and she would comply).
"Sydney I need my wipe please".

Someone would know if you were missing...
At the funeral luncheon (at our church) there were a million little ones running around and Hailey came to us and said, "Where is the other one"? It was then we discovered Sydney was missing. She was quickly found with Lindsey safely in another room.

Even sleeping can be emotional...
When I found Sydney this morning she was crying hysterically. When I asked her why she told me, "Hailey doesn't love me". Hailey then yelled " o.k I love you Sydney". All was better.

If you have to go potty you would need to make sure your sippy cups and other essential toys are safe. So you would go through all your precious items and tell sissy to leave them alone for a minute.

When you ride in the car you could have a spit out water war and laugh until you were almost crying (mommy doesn't like this though).

Someone would be there to motivate you even in life's most personal tasks...
Your sister could tell you with great emphasis why she loves to poop on the potty and the rewards of this process (Sydney is still struggling with that one).

You might fall down the stairs backwards. So... watch out when you walk down stairs because if your sister needs some balance she might grab you and make you fall down in her place. You then would blame her and say she pushed you which is not so ... she just was trying to save herself.

Your name would not be just Hailey or Sydney because your sister would call you "My Sydney or My Hailugh"...


You would know the number two better than any other number. You will have learned you should always need two of everything to avoid being snatched from. Better to take care of sissy first so you can have yours without a fight.

You could wake up at 3am and laugh and giggle just like it was morning. Mommy would be shocked and go in and tell you both to go back to sleep though.

And at just three you could already try and trick people and switch names (and succeed).

If you get hurt outside someone will come tell mommy to help you...

Someone will help you get your shoes on or off.

You would learn young the powers of negotiation. If she has something you want, find something better and make a trade...

Yes if you were a twin you would never be bored!
