Well, ok, in all honesty, I gave them their blog names before I met them.

But Sugar and Spice actually seem to fit. Sugar is honest and forthright… and very genuinely affectionate. She’s also as stuborn as her mother, hard on herself, academically strong and vulnerable to rejection. (Ok, so that’s all like me too.)

Spice is a sweetheart too, but she’s much feistier. She’s always pulling faces and cracking jokes, and there is a teasing to her affection. She is incredibly nurturing and loves to make believe. Her imagination is always on fire. When upset, she cries righteous indignation! but she is just as liberal with her kisses.

Its funny that one daughter should be so much like me – and the other one is a lot like my sister in some ways. Right now, its much easier to relate to Sugar, but that wasn’t the case in the beginning. and my mother advises me that I’ll probably find it easier to get along with Spice as they get to be teens, since Sugar is too much like her mom.

Well, time wil tell. In the meanwhile – even in their jammies! – they aren’t babies at all anymore, are they? Just little girls…
