LOL I had a hard time explaining the idea of a swap to them. They just didn't understand it at first. So this is a first for them! I also had the twins at the time and they each had to do a piece. They may be able to do it if you do another one later on. Daymon has a strong need for approval and I told him he was the best yet at working the sewing machine. It was true. He may be my sewing buddy!! I love seeing his grin when you tell him he did something well.
