Both girls are very sociable and very cheerful, but B is a bit more sociable than her twin sister and more energetic. They both like to be on the floor playing with each other, rather than trapped in their side-by-side cribs. Although they don’t have favorite toys yet, they sometimes fight when they want the same toy. B will not back down without a fight once she’s decided on a toy, but C will “walk away” and find something else to play with.

The twins must taste every toy they get their hands on. They constantly suck their thumbs, and yours too if it is within reach, although C is a bit more cautious about putting strange hands in her mouth. Sometimes B likes to stick her tongue out. And when they get really excited, they wiggle their legs non-stop!

The girls start their day around 6:30 AM when they are washed and get diaper changes. They go out to sun bathe for 15 minutes on sunny mornings where they are massaged with baby oil. Then they are fed and are put to bed for their first nap. For meal time, they eat foods such as combinations of wheat and honey milk cereal, fruits, different kinds of fresh juice, oats with milk, vegetable soup, pastini (small pasta noodles), Injera with shiro wot (shiro is a sauce prepared from ground beans). Potatoes, carrots, leeks, zucchini, ground fish, meat, and chicken are also part of their menu.

The girls are often put on the floor to practice crawling and/or walking and play with their toys. The nannies cuddle and play with the infants to give them personal attention as much as possible. They are put to bed around 8:00 PM after being fed. During the night, they usually wake up once to eat and the nannies are always around, ready to look after them.
