The other day, I walked into Cooper's classroom at school and noticed these life-size (2 year old life size) paper dolls sitting around the room. They had a front and back and were stuffed with some type of soft filler to make them "plump". They each had clothing on and were colored and decorated each in their own way. Ms. Marcella pointed to one of the dolls and asked Cooper who it was. Cooper responded, "He's my twin!" Ms. Marcella would ask where the other people's twins were around the room and he would point to each as she said their name.
Apparently, all the kids laid down on paper on the floor and the teacher's traced them. Cooper's twin had some of his extra clothing on that had been in his cubby. He also had some crazy hair and a baseball cap on. After a day or two, we took our twin home and Cooper has been so proud of it.
His twin has a special place for now. It is sitting on the rocking horse that is right next to Cooper's bed until we can figure out what to do with this lovely piece of artwork! :)
BTW, Addi likes the twin too and had to get a picture with him. Don't you just love how she is sitting with him?
