1) do not take her gorilla out of her bed without her express written permission. yes, she writes permission slips.
2) don't bother her while she's talking on the phone; if you hear her ask "where you at" when she picks up her toy cell phone, it's a serious call. keep it moving.
3) if she is reading a book, don't touch the book....TRIXIE.
4) do not under any circumstance mess with Trixie. and mess is subject to operational definition by Dixie.
Trixie and Dixie, Chillin in the Cut, 12/2007
Dixie, although slightly smaller, is the older, bossier twin in the house. she has a very big personality in a tiny little body and is more than willing to remind you of such if she things you've somehow forgotten.
In the daycare the girls attend, i've been told more than once stories of Dixie smackin a toddler up when she thinks they've gotten out of pocket with her Trixie. Today, before delivering a smack to the head of a kid messing with Trixie, Dixie informed her "no! stop! sister!"
*whaaap!*
two weeks ago, Dixie made her way all the way across the room to deliver a smack to the lips of another kid who had the poor judgment to make Trixie cry. literally dropped what she was doing, ran across the room, and *saved* her sister.
but none of this has any bearing on the the frequency in which i find them fighting like tigers amongst themselves. last week i found Trixie holding Dixie in a wrassle move on their bedroom floor, grinning like a fiend the entire time.
growing up as an only child, i greet the news of her daycare beatdowns with a dark thrill. i hardly ever laugh on the outside because, really?...laughing at toddler on toddler violence is not a good look.
but deep down...ok, not so deep down...i am loving how Dixie has her sister's back. let's just hope it lasts: if these girls decide to fight each other over a damn boy? i'm cracking skulls.
