Sh.awn was sitting at this picnic table all by himself. Ja.son saw him there alone and had to go over to sit there, too. They started out talking to each other across the table, but after a few minutes, they were sitting next to each other on the same side.
And I melted on the spot.
I always have had a nagging worry that my boys would be missing out on the twin bond. They were born so early and separated so much when they were young. Plus their ability levels (both cognitive and physical because Sh.awn has always been about 6-9 months behind his brother developmentally) have also been so different all along. I feared the damage that might have done to the chance of them fostering that special closeness. To be honest, the fear has really stung because it's hard not to view it as yet another way that they were cheated because of thier circumstance of prematurity.
Scenes like this, however, show that they really are beginning to enjoy being around each other now. It is so heartwarming to see their relationship develop into something more than just brothers. And while I know that they may still not be as close as some twins may be, there is something more there between them than what I'd expect from many siblings.
It makes me so, so happy to see.

Love the picture and the story. Sounds like they are developing that bond after all!
Love !
Love this. I feel the same way when I catch my boys in an unexpected "twin moment".
I have come to observe that twins who are the only kiddos also seem to have more of these twins moments.
This picture is just adorable.
