Zip Zap

I never grew up with a sibling. One of my favorite things the girls do right now is make up games to play and play and play and play. These games have fascinating names. Zip Zap, Pink, Boo, Tap Tap, jump, newange or puhsh can be observed being played at various times during the day. They think it's the best thing ever. Who needs gymboree and the zoo when you have your best friend around to play Tap Tap with you? These games involve jumping, stacking toys in the configuration of a boat and sailing off to ebber lan (never land) or standing at the very end of the hallway and hurling tennis balls at the closed door at the end of the hall. (this is their very favorite) I used to envy sisters who had each other as best friends and who always had someone to play with. When you are an only child, you clock a lot of time playing school with your stuffed animals, drawing and playing imaginary games. But now that I have twins, it's like all that has gone away and I wouldn't change a thing because I appreciate their relationship and the fact that they have each other so much more than I think I would have if I would have had siblings close to my age. So I guess my point is everything comes full circle. Call your sister or brother today and tell them relive a fun game like zip zap that you used to play together. You are SO LUCKY to have them.
