Best Friends and Worst Enemies

I uploaded these pictures several months ago.  They are from the summer.  I had pulled the rocking chair out of Abbey's room so Todd could fix the arm and the kids hopped into it.  Together.  To watch the movie that was one.  I love their connection.  They are really close.
They hug and kiss, shove and push.  Best friends and worst enemies.  Recently, I've realized how much they really touch each other as we are working to remind Adam of personal space in school as he will lean on students and walk too close sometimes.  I realize that with the A-team, there isn't a real concern with personal space.  They pile limbs on each other and share food and toys.  It's probably something like twins.
Every morning, the first thing they do is kiss each other.  Every day we pick up Adam, the first thing Abbey does is kiss him.  Todd and I don't get that treatment!  They will hold hands in the car on occasion.  Their closeness also breeds some issues.  If Abbey doesn't want Adam to take something, sometimes she'll start screaming if he even gets close...kind of like a burglar alarm!  Yikes, it's killer.  Love this picture.
But if one is sad, the other will find something they know the other likes to try and comfort them.  And Abbey gets mad and protective if she thinks someone is going to hurt Adam (like the nurse) or take him (like Uncle Bobby).  They are like salt and pepper and are kind of like a "set".  It takes getting used to having only one around.
