Yesterday, we were going to have tangerines with dinner. Usually I peel and separate them for the twins. I got distracted for a second, and when I turned around, Isaac was peeling his own tangerine. Maybe he interpreted my look of surprise as one of disapproval, because he said "My friends do it!"
I let both twins peel their own tangerines, and even though it took about 5 minutes, they both did it, and were really proud of the accomplishment. Today I packed whole tangerines in their lunches.
