It Ain't Easy Being Little

It's pretty clear that Ben is bigger than Alex. Not just in weight (6 lbs heavier) but also in clothing size (Ben wears a 2T/24 months and Alex wears 18 months clothes). Ben is also a few inches taller. It's never really been an issue, until recently. Ben has discovered he's tall enough to get things off of the counter in the kitchen. Which has caused us to keep a nice 6 inches of clear space at the edge of the counters. He's also discovered how cool it is to turn the lights off and on, and off and on, and off and on. UGH! Alex tried to copy him the other day and was very disappointed when he realized he was "too little." It reminded me of my tiny little college roomate DeAnn who used to say, "I'm too l'il." LOL! I was able to get some pics of the boys messing with the lights in the living room. It was quite funny.

Alex observes Ben in action.

Alex carefully studies Ben's technique and execution of light switch flipping.
Ben steps away to observe his student and Alex aims for his target.
Disappointed he turns to Ben and says, "Waaaaaaaaaah." Which in Twinspeak means, "I'm too l'il."

Love it love it love it! Even if you don'tt have twins, you can relate to this problem. Even now, CLair gets frustrated when Kate can do things she can't! :) Alex, I tell Clair all the time, one day there will be an advantage to being small!
