Us
Have I told you about “us”? It’s become really obvious lately how Forest strongly identifies as a unit with Logan. He’s always saying “us”.
I first noticed it when I was taking Forest for this Occupational Therapy appointments for the Tactile Defensiveness. We sat on the floor to play a game and he picked up one of the game pieces saying, “and this one is for Logan”. I gently reminded him that Logan wasn’t with us and wouldn’t need a piece. Then I started noticing how often Forest will tell me what “us” want instead of just what he wants. “Us want to go to the park”, “Us want ice cream”, we are working out the grammar of “us” versus “we” but you get the point. Another friend mentioned also noticing that both boys do it and it’s really cute. I agree with her, it is really cute. At the same time, it made me really understand why schools have policies insisting on separating twins in the classroom. It’s one of the precious differences that I experience as a twin parent.
