Happy morning, happy Amma Mama!

This morning I watched the girls playing together. Tethys sat on the couch and patted the cushion beside her, "Sit, Ro-Ro! Sit, Ro-Ro!" and Hero sat beside her.
Then Hero crossed her legs and said, "Lap. Teka, lap." Hero pats her lap and Tethys sits in it. They both giggle and Hero puts her arms around Tethys. They break apart but Hero isn't quite done. "Hug?" she asks holding out her arms. Tethys smiles and holds her arms out too. They hug for a moment an break apart.
Hero sits on the arm of the couch with her feet on the center cushion. "Billillibing" she calls, which means, "sit across from me and march your feet!" Tethys knows this and sits on the opposite arm. They march for a while until Tethys calls out "walking, walking" to the tune of "Are You Sleeping?" and they both slow down their legs.
Tethys slides onto the couch from the arm and putsd her back to the back of the couch. "Ro-Ro!" she insists. And Hero joins her with he back to the back of the couch. They both look at me expectantly and I know to say, "Sliiiiide... Plop!" as they slide down the couch and plop on their bottoms, laughing.
This is repeated several times until Hero gets distracted.
She holds on the back of the couch and starts to jump. Her example inspires Tethys and they jump together for a bit.
Then Tethys sees a book and pulls it onto to her lap. "Ro-Ro!" she calls out, meaning "stop jumping, I'm trying to read." Hero does stop and analyzes Tethys's activity. She approves and leaves the couch to pick out her own book.
Climbing back on the couch with her book she sits next to Tethys and begins to count the eggs on the cover of her book, "one, two, fwee, two, fwee, two".

I think we've reached the point where twins gets easier.
