These days if I have Cooper and Cassidy with me, I pretty much only shop at Wal-Mart or Sam’s Club. Sam’s Club shopping carts (and Costco) are the only carts that can fit two kids side by side up front. So I park in between the stores and use the Sam’s carts for both stores.
When Cooper and Cassidy were about 18 months, they had been to the store maybe three times in their whole life. Such a stark contrast to when Allie and Kara were their age. I remember taking Kara to the store when she was maybe just 10 days old. And with Allie, I lived for our weekly shopping trips.
But I have grown more confident in my being-the-mother-of-twins mindset and I now am not quite so scared to go shopping with them.
Probably because they so rarely get to go to the store, they are actually pretty good. They have had their moments though. Cooper biting Cassidy’s ear. Cassidy scratching his face in self defense. But we are slowly working through those things.
While we were shopping the other day, I noticed something they were doing. I don’t even think they noticed it. It was one of those heart melting things for me.
Their feet were touching for a big part of our trip that day. It was so cute. They didn’t discuss it and it didn’t bug either of them. They just sat there as we went along swinging their feet together.
They can fight and whine and make each other mad but they still have a bond that is so unique.
Twins.

They are so sweet! They are holding hands, but using their feet instead of their hands. Cute!
