One good turn deserves a snorer

As we watch our twins develop individual characteristics, the debate about nature or nurture continues. Up until now, nurture has had little impact because they’ve been too young to be influenced by our efforts. One possible exception is how they sleep. In the wake of SIDS, researchers suggest babies under one year be placed on their “back to sleep”. Sandy is a back sleeper, so this may be a natural position for them. However, recently Trey has begun rolling on his side to sleep (which experts allow as a safe alternative). Daddy Dave is a side sleeper. Whether this is nature or nurture is unclear, but it sure is cute especially when his foot sticks outside the railing.
