No package the same.


I've often wondered if I'm doing a good job making sure my girls feel that they have their own individual personalitybecause, as twins, they can easily be put into one package. We were sitting on our back porch on Thursday after my mom had just come home from Cici's ballet recital. Nini had immediately ran to the garage and fished out her helmet and pads and began working on her "tic-tac" and "ollie" skateboard moves, while Elise flitted around in her ballet tutu. I felt a surge of pride at their incredible sense of individuality - something that I think they truly fight to keep. This picture is my favorite photo - I just love these little ladies!
Do you notice your children fighting for their own individuality?

I wonder the same thing at times, even though my boys are fraternal, they still get the package deal thing from me at times I think. Hope I can do as great a job as your doing!!! I love the picture.

I know what you mean, mine are not twins. But they are 21 months apart, for years I had bought everything in pairs. Had them color coded pink and purple. It was delightful to see that they are different.
