My boys are so incredibly different and have been since birth. They just have different strengths and weaknesses.<br /><br />As for being separated, I worried a lot about this as well. Not sure if you were reading my blog at that time but my boys were separated at school bc Nate was potty trained and Alex was not. I was really scared for Alex bc he is the one more dependent on the twin relationship. But it actually helped him thrive! We told him he needed to focus on potty training to be with Nate and he immediately wanted to do it! But there were no tears, no issues, they took it just fine (I was a mess though, ha ha).LauraChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14322568136833382134noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-955758522063459602.post-15762446980164642392009-12-08T21:26:04.114-05:002009-12-08T21:26:04.114-05:00I think it's helpful that Noah has the opportu...I think it's helpful that Noah has the opportunity to do this--and on his own. It could be just what he needs to learn to assert himself and show what he can do. Is he the one that is more dependent on the "twin-ness"? (so maybe it's made him a bit lazy and he needs to figure out how to work harder at stuff?) I can't say that I know how you feel, but our younger daughter has never been the kind of student that our older one is. They each have their talents and that's what you nurture. Alison is very athletic and musical whereas Ashley is extremely academic and artistic.Margarethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17197599882756386184noreply@blogger.com
