Aquilla

This is Aquilla just after she woke up from her nap. She has a twin named Acoco. Aquilla's the sweet one, Acoco's the hyper one. Both of them loved to pull on my hair and watch me bend my neck in half... weird obsession!
What kills me about these girls is that they were called by the wrong names for the first week they were there. I come in one day, and the mothers tell me that they've just been told the right names and that Acoco's the one with earrings (they took Aquilla's out). Not only can I imagine that would be traumatic for a two-year-old, but I feel terrible about it. For some reason, I felt it important to make a special effort to call each child by their name. Doesn't really work if you're just emphasizing a tragic mistake! But they are beautiful girls and seemed to open up much more once the name thing was sorted out!
