People often ask us how we can tell the girls apart. I really don’t think they look that similar. Yes they look a lot alike but they have different face shapes, Ari has double dimples on her right side, Brynn has two birthmarks (shin and chest or not readily noticeable), Ari is about 1.5 inches taller and 3+ pounds bigger. Despite that they are completely different personalities. Case and point this morning I said the same thing to both girls at different times and got two totally different responses. Ari walked down the hall and I said “Hi Princess.” She responded with a scowl on her face “I’m not a Princess Mommy!” A couple seconds later Brynn walked down the hall and I said the same thing to her. Her response after batting her eyes and smiling ear to ear “Hi Mommy.”
This last week when we were at Bounce World Ari saw the basketball hoops. She quickly went over, grabbed a ball and with perfect form including follow threw shot the ball and almost made it. Brynn came over next to her and with both hands threw the ball as hard as she could over her head to hit the edge of the backboard. This weekend we are going to a Princess Party as part of our towns summer celebration. I think my friend Holli (has 4 boys!!) has been looking forward to this day for years as she is going with us. I’ll let her go with Brynn while I take Ari and perhaps find a ball game to play!
Two little girls with two totally different personalities.
