They don't interact a lot?

I know a few of you IRL and have seen your twins and they seem to interact, notice, play with each other.

Syd and Chloe don't..and I venture to say actually give each other dirty looks Chat Icon Chat Icon

Chloe fights for my attention a lot.

They pull each others hair a lot, and if one of them even touches the other one, they scream and scream. They fight over the same toys ALL DAY LONG.

The only time they really interact is when they are babbling, then one will look at the other like " wow, you speak my language and they will babble to each other a bit".

Today at dinner, this happened, and then they smiled at each other. It literally brought tears to my eyes, it was the first time since they even saw each other existed at 4 months that they did this. Normally they fight to get as far away from each other as possible.

Is this normal ?

Re: They don't interact a lot?

My twins are 2 and they are just starting now to stop the fighting and play more with each.. At this point your are still in the Parallel Play stage and they will fight more than anything.. Don't get me wrong mine still fight (bit, kick, push, punch each other).. but it has gotten a little better in the last month of so.

I just hope that when they get older they realize how important they are to each other, but for now I am "the ref".

They didn't really start playing together until the past month or so - they are 19 months now. A lot of their interaction is still fighting - don't think thats going to stop, lol!

Sorry I didn't see this sooner...

My twins are a lot like yours. If it isn't for fighting over a toy or a bottle, they really don't interact. Only recently have I noticed Nicolas watching Giovanna. For example, he never ate mum mums. Hated them. Then, he saw her eating them. It was actually very cute. It's like he was examining her. So I gave him a mum mum and he started eating it!

They do interact with Matteo a lot. Matteo likes to play "chase" with them. He runs around and the babies try to crawl after him.

My kids are hot and cold with each other. Some day sits fighting all day long others they mimic each other and have a great time. I only have 1 hair puller and am about to tear my hair out getting him to stop
