It's becoming increasingly evident that Caleb is the more detail-oriented and particular twin. When handing out sippy cups, spoons, etc., we have learned to always ask Caleb first which one he wants; Joshua, on the other hand, couldn't care less, and will take whatever we give him. Same goes for when we're picking out their outfits in the morning. Caleb always prefers to wear blue pants, preferably jeans, and a top that has a picture on it. This morning I asked him which snowman sweater he wanted to wear (we have 2 sets) and he deliberated carefully before deciding. And of course if on a rare occasion they must wear non-matching outfits, I would be irresponsible not to ask Caleb first which he would like to wear. Thank God Joshua is so flexible... I don't know what I would do with two picky twins!
Last weekend we went to visit Granny and Babo, and when we crawled into bed the first night Caleb became very cross. We asked him what was wrong, and he pointed to a pillow in a plaid pillowcase at the head of the bed and angrily muttered at it. "Oh, you want us to move it?" we asked. He said yes. So I moved it to Joshua's side of the bed. Caleb continued to vehemently express his discontent. So I removed the pillow from the bed altogether. Yes, that was a suitable solution, Caleb was now willing to rest his head (on a non-plaid pillow, of course) and go to sleep. Apparently Caleb is not a big fan of his Daddy's favorite print! I suspect that Caleb inherited his Mommy's rather particular fashion sense ;)
