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:
