Twins! You would think that since they came into this world together, they would be the same! Since they were babies, I've called them my little ladies. I've received so many comments and laughs about it, that it's just stuck. I used to dress them in cute matching outfits, if they weren't the same color they were at least the same style. It's taken about a year to ween myself off of those cute "matching" outfits and realize they are exact opposites!Take a look at my little tomboy. She always has something in her pocket, always in jeans, and never without a cute little smudge of dirt on her face or ink on her hands. She's the little lady that found my furniture polish and dumped it out on our white chair! She loves to make a mess and try take things apart - it's great!
My other little lady, unless forced, won't even look at a pair of pants. She's skirts or dresses, with tights, shoes, jewelry the whole works. She loves to dress-up and asks me everyday "Mommy, are you going to wear a skirt today?" She's even convinced her teacher at school to come in the snow to school in a skirt. She's got a whole guilt trip thing going! She refuses to get dirty and cries if she does. She loves to talk about clothes and going shopping - it's a lot of fun!
The best part about the whole thing is they're becoming their own. I've learned to stopped buying those cute matching outfits and let them decide what what makes them feel comfortable, happy, and themselves! Y

These are cute pictures. It's nice you're letting them be themselves and wear things that show who they are. Matching twins are cute, but really celebrating them as individuals is a gift.
I agree with Jill! I think it's great that you encourage them to be themselves. I used to nanny for twins girls and even at age 4 their mom still dresses them alike. I just know that if they were able to pick out their own clothes they'd come up with totally different outfits, one is a total princess and the other feels the most comfortable with a superman cape on her back.
My sister has triplets and it's amazing that with all of the time they spend together how incredibly different they are. I'm so curious to see what they're like 10 years from now!
