Best Buddies

One of the many beautiful things about twins is watching their relationship grow. Ryan and Lucie have always been close, though now that they are starting to speak, we see examples of their unique bond more each day.

Lucie and Ryan were both enjoyed the swings at the park this morning until Lucie decided she wanted to play in the sand with another little girl. Ryan couldn't understand why she would want to leave him. Instead of enjoying the rest of his swing ride, he spent the entire time calling out "Sis! Sis!" in hopes she'd return to his side. It's very important to him that his Sis enjoys the same things that he does - it's just not as fun if she's not there!

Lucie has had a difficult time saying either brother or Ryan, both "r's" being a little tough to come out. Instead she's started to call him "Bo-Bo", an easy version of "brother" and similar to the nickname Chris calls Ryan. We'll say to her, "Lucie, is that your brother, Ryan?" She'll shake her head knowingly and say with a smile, "No, Bo-Bo", just in case you might forget.
