One or Two?

The boys have plenty of toys...enough that we can usually find something to divert their attention to when a fight breaks out over a particular toy.  And so I haven't gotten into the habit of buying "two of things", except in very special cases.  Well the toy lawn mower may just be one of those special cases!  They have gotten into very animated, loud, brotherly fights over this toy at least one time per day since we gave it to them - several times with lasting bite marks (usually Owen does the biting)!!  They LOVE this thing - it makes a lot of noise and they will push it around all day.  It even has a bubble component to it that we haven't introduced yet because they are still so enthralled with just the mower itself!  I can't imagine how much they are going to be obsessed with it once they discover it blows bubbles too.  I don't know...I'm holding out because I really don't think we need two lawn mowers - and on the positive side, it's giving us many opportunities to teach about sharing and taking turns.  That's a neat thing about twins - they start sharing early on (in the womb) and are faced with this reality everyday.  I'm just not sure how well those lessons are resonating with 16 month old toddlers at the moment!
