My twins are fraternal, but look very much alike. In fact, DD#1 looks like them as well. They each have their own crib, but share a room. Typically, A will wake up at one point during the night, scream for a bit and then go back to sleep. D typically sleeps through it all, or rouses and just ignores her sister.
Last night, as usual, I hear screams around midnight and when I go in, it is D who is shrieking, A is trying to go back to sleep. Strange, but whatever... There was more shrieking around 4am and I ended up having to move D her into the PNP that we keep in our large walk-in closet for these situations. Again, strange, but I think I was too tired to think about it.
Well, this morning, I take them both out of their cribs, give them their bottles and when they are done, "D" stands up and starts walking around. Now, that is beyond strange because A walks, but D doesn't yet. It finally hit me that I put them to sleep in the wrong cribs and it was actually A who had been waking up screaming all along and I never realized that I had them mixed up!!! Granted, it was dark, I was tired and they look alike but I couldn't believe it actually happened!!!
