Miss Independence

We split the girls into two separate classrooms a few weeks ago.  At first I wasn't so sure, but I'm liking the idea of them getting a chance to grow and foster some independence, make their own friends, and not rely so much on each other.  I know, I know - they're only two years old... but you should see how much they play off each other's emotions (in both good ways and bad).  My hope is that they have a special sisterly bond forever, but also that they grow up having strong individual ideals and aspirations.  I don't want them to always be thought of as "The Krupa Twins", but as Caroline and Olivia.  Ok, so maybe I should just let them be kids for a while.. I know. 

Anyways, I was nervous for them to be separated.  Really nervous.  I was completely expecting them to revolt against their teachers and have huge melt-downs, and half way expected to get a call at work saying that it just wasn't working out.  But to my surprise, it has been a super easy transition!  Their teachers have been raving about how well both girls are doing respectively.  Of course, when I come to pick them up at the end of the day it is so cute watching them reunite.  They'll run to each other and sqeal, saying "SISSY!!!!" and give a big hug.  Melts my heart. 

This isn't the best example, but I caught a little video of it the other night at pick-up:

BTW - Hi, I'm Nichol! I just found your blog searching mono mono twins blog. I have mono girls a year younger than yours, born Dec 4, 2009! I can't wait until they are like your girls. They hug and kiss each other, but don't get that excited to see each other yet. Cute!
