Alone Together

Lee and Ned are rarely separated. They seem to prefer having the other close.  But, situations arise when I have just one twin. Yesterday was one of those days.

Lee had a dentist appointment, and I picked him up early from kindergarten without Neddy noticing.

The appointment went smoothly, and, hilariously, the dentist told Lee he did such a good job that he should have strawberry ice cream this afternoon.

Afterward, he looked at me guiltily and said, “I really love ice cream.”

I had already noticed he was wearing socks with popsicles and ice cream cones all over them.

Later in the day when all four kids were together again, we stopped for Eis. Thom asks his siblings what flavors they want and orders for everyone. Sweet Lee got strawberry.
