Twins are awesome!

So, this board is dead and I want to bring it back a bit . We've done a thread about how your twins are different, I thought it would be fun to see how they are the same or what you love about twins in particular. 

I love that my boys are starting to interact with each other so much more. They have full on conversations, do things over and over if it makes their brother laugh and they will pat each other on the head or snuggle each other. It's also cute to see how they push each other to do more. J is walking pretty well now, but C is still unsure about the whole thing. But, if he sees J walking he smiles, stands up and begins to try. There is a lot of monkey see monkey do in the house. Haha. 
They also have a lot of the same mannerisms. They sit the same way, sleep the same way, say the same words and eat the exact same way. They are identical so it'll be interesting to see if they start to do more and more that's similar, or if they will be opposites.

I can't wait for mine to reach the point where they interact with one a other. Right now, while two infants is crazy I can't imagine life with just one baby. Our family feels complete.

Fwiw, our good friends have identical boys and they are so different. The dad had wondered if that egg didn't split which child would they have.

It's been fun to see the boys start to interact more. Though really by interact I mean push each other and sort of wrestle. There has been a couple moments of "sharing", where one boy will give the other whatever he's playing with. But that's about it. They're pretty independent.

They don't seem to talk much to each other though. At least not that I can tell. It's a lot of repeating what I say (milk, banana, tractor) - though they say it like "mi", "na-nah", and "ta-toh"

I love that they can keep each other occupied. I also love that no matter how much we call them by their nicknames, they only call each other by their proper names. I never noticed that until last week.

These are fun to read! It is making me even more excited to have mine!

My boys love a lot of the same things-trains, scooters, running full speed at each other and "crashing," Daniel Tiger, going for a run with me,and treats.

They are each other's best friend. Jack will even tell you that he has no friends, just Henry is his friend. They go to preschool and have a best friend who recently moved away

They have A LOT of the same mannerisms. They also sleep the same way, talk the same way, and make the same faces.

What do I love about twins? I'll get back to you when I have a minute to catch my breath and think of a good answer I think of them as individuals, and the hard parts of having almost 3 year old twin boys are pretty intense over here. I do love that they love each other so much. Its pretty cute.

My boys only poop every few days and then they always poop within a few hours of each other, lol.

They're only 4 mos old but I think T is going to be my sweet lover of people and just easy to love and M is going to be the type that takes a little longer to warm up but when he does, it's awesome.

I can't imagine life without either of them.

This is a great thread Let’s see…my boys also say the same few words. Their favorite is “uh-oh,” which they apply to all occasions. They don’t share too much, but they have started to play together a bit. It’s so cute to see one try to wrestle with the other. Alex seems to do things a few weeks ahead of Andrew, like walking and teething. My favorite thing is that I can’t imagine life, and our family, being any other way except to have the twins growing together simultaneously.
