Do they communicate with each other?

The D Space
"Do they communicate with each other? "Asked our pediatrician.

If you consider, hair pulling, shirt pulling , horse-collar tackles and plain old hands to the face moves communication, then yes..they do communicate.

Perhaps the only disadvantage of being twins is that Rohan and Ryan have always been competing with each other..sometimes that used to make me sad, now i'm convinced they love doing it..

Its the evolution of battle.

Ryan was the first one to realize that you could pull hair. So when he wanted to get something from Rohan, he would pull his hair. And Rohan would start bawling.
Ryan walks away like nothing happenned.

So Rohan adapted. As soon as Ryan would approach him, he would give him the ol Hands to the Face move..Kinda like NFL running backs. Occasionally he would do that even when Ryan was simply passing by...Ryan walking by nonchalantly...Boom..Hands to the face..Ryan on floor..sitting wondering what happenned..
Rohan acts like nothing happenned.

Then Ryan realized that he could creep up behind Rohan , and then use his shirt to pull him down (horse-collar tackle, banned in the NFL). So if Rohan is sitting on the Dora chair, BAM and a few seconds later, Ryan is on the Dora chair, pondering about why Rohan is on the carpet bawling, with his hands and legs pointing to the sky.

Now Rohan has learnt that given all this tackling he is still stronger than Ryan. So instead of going after Ryan, he'll just go after his toys. What ends up happenning is that they'll both be pulling at the same toy. And now Rohan is definitely stronger.
They'll both be whining, but then Ryan's whine will slowly but surely deteriorate into a bawl, while rohan's whine, will transform into a quiet determined shout, almost like hes going "B-A-N-Z-A-I !!!"

Its not like we sit and watch them doing this, but they do this *All* day long.. so there are sometimes where we just let them have a go on it..especially if no one had the toy before hand. If one of them had the toy before the other, then they get to keep it no matter who won.
