Play Time is Stacking Up

Stacking up is defined as to measure up or equal. It can also mean to make sense or add up. So it can be said that our twins stack up perfectly in terms of age, ancestry and environment, and the idea that they would compete continuously to gain physical or intellectual superiority also stacks up nicely. We see their twinship as a blessing. Each boy was born with a brother his exact age, a perfect peer. Unlike identical twins, our boys have individual looks, builds, and personalities which allow them to easily forge their own identities. Each has progressed in some areas ahead of his brother, and competition or imitation has helped the other catch up faster than an only child may have. The fighting can sometimes be annoying, but we hope the competition for superiority stacks up to higher achievement for both.
