Identical Twin Girls Shopping

Posted on January 29, 2012 by No Comments

Given the choice how do your twins shop?  I ask this question because there appears to be so much debate over whether twins should dress the same or differently or should they always have two of everything.

Our identical twin girls aged 4 have always been encouraged to be individuals by buying them different clothing, toys, books and other stuff right from the start.  Sometimes they have the same outfits in different colours and likewise with toys they may both have Barbie dolls but the Barbies will be varied – you get the idea.  Equally, they have never been forced to be different and are able to select choices for themselves and should that choice be the same then the same is what they end up.

Today, the girls both fell in love with YooHoo Bush Baby Friends and the same one so that is how they spent their vouchers.  They also bought a Lego Friends set each but this time it differed.

It highlighted that sometimes no matter what route you take with the whole “individuality” debate your twins will be both individual and identical twins all at the same time.   Ultimately, if my girls are happy then I am happy.
