Kids Need Play

Toddlers like fetch, go figure

Dear reader,

Today I tried to teach my newly-minted-toddlers to roll the ball back and forth. I tried to roll the ball and they just kept handing the ball back instead of rolling it, and they seemed to have more fun bringing it back than anything else, so I improvised. Come to find out, toddlers really like playing fetch! I’m sure rolling it back will come later, but for now, … Well, we will class it up a bit and call it roll and go, haha!

One of the girls was a bit more keen on going and getting it, while the other was happier if I rolled it directly to her and let her bring it back to me, but that definitely comes down to personality; and let me say, it definitely fits with other aspects of their personalities. For instance, the one that loved going to get the ball is also the one that has been walking for a month and the one that would rather me roll it right to her is the one more quiet and interested in one-on-one interactions. That’s one of my favorite things about having twins: seeing how differently the same task can be done by a different personality. I look forward to more opportunities to observe that difference in the future.
