[quote=Anonymous]2.5 yo twins:

- Recent trip to DisneyWorld, we went to Hollywood Studios.  Due to a pouring rainstorm, we miss naptime.  About 2 hours late, we finally get to the car and Twin A has fallen asleep in the stroller.  One car seat in the row by the door, other in the third row of the minivan.  Twin B insists on sitting in seat by the door, but I won't let him because I want to put Twin A there without A waking up.  Twin B is put into the back carseat and due to an accident on the road, it takes us over an hour to make the 10 minute trip back to the hotel.  Twin B spends 45 minutes screaming "No, THAT seat" before falling asleep.  He sleeps 30 minutes and we arrive at hotel and Twin B wakes up when I get him out of the car seat (unfortunately!) and immediately launches back into "No THAT seat", so I put him in THAT seat while I move his brother to the stroller (still asleep), move bags to the stroller pouch, etc.  He never stops screaming.  I put him involuntarily into the stroller and we go to the hotel room.  We take off his shoes, he never stops screaming "THAT seat" until we take off his shoes and then it changes to "No SHOES...Park"  he thinks that if he puts on his shoes and gets back into the car seat, we're going to go back to the park.  He finally fell asleep around 4:30 (normal naptime is 12:30).

- This morning Twin A insisted he wanted a "big banana" meaning he wanted the whole thing and not a piece.  He proceeds to break the banana into 6 pieces and then complains that he doesn't have a big banana.

- A couple of weeks ago, Twin A was tantruming at dinner because we wouldn't let him get out of the high chair.  My wife took the iPad out and videotaped him screaming for 15 seconds.  She played it back and he stopped screaming fascinated by himself screaming on the video.  My wife goes to drink water and the video stops.  He looks at her and full voice yells at her "AGAIN!!!" and starts to cry.  She snorted her water all over her face.

- We have many duplicate toys to try to stem off (futilely) some of the fights.  We have had times that there will be two identical toys sitting next to each other and they will have a tug of war and wrestling match screaming "MINE!" and crying while the second of the identical items sits next to it.  We had one instance where they tore one of two identical books before we could get there and then rather than either one playing with the whole item on the floor, they both cried about the ripped book yelling "Not nice!" at each other.[/quote]
