Description
“One of each!” the doctor announced, and the whole delivery room burst out laughing with relief and joy. Weeks later, the house was a whirl of blue and pink: two bottles warming, two tiny sleepsuits on the radiator, two sets of grandparents competing for cuddles. Yet at naptime, the brother and sister always ended up in the same place, curled together on the big bed, his fist tucked under her chin. Their older cousin declared them the best present anyone had ever received, even better than a bicycle.
This tender scene celebrates the special joy of boy-girl twins. Give it at a baby shower, a joint christening or a first birthday party, or present it to grandparents who now have twice the reasons to smile. Twin siblings of any age will appreciate it, too, perhaps on a milestone birthday they share. Open the lid to find Sometimes Miracles Come in Pairs written there, a sweet surprise for whoever lifts it, and a sentiment every parent of twins knows to be true. Keep it on the nursery shelf or mother’s dressing table.
