We dressed them up as M&Ms when they were infants. We didn't want to spend a lot of money on costumes so it was easy.

edit: I just came across this picture of Harry and Lloyd from Dumb and Dumber. I totally want to do this!

23andMe is a service that provides a profile of your genetic makeup. Basically, you spit into a vial and ship it off to their lab where they process the results.

The results are then posted to their pretty cool little web interface and you can see other 23andMe users who match with you; identical, fraternal, brother, aunt, 4th cousin, etc.

Sounds like you're not too tied up in the results, if you can swing the cost, it's a cool thing to know. But don't sweat it either way, you're important to each other in big ways already.

We have the Mockingbird but we didn't get it until the boys were about 4 months, and we didn't use it until they were about 6 months. So we never got the car seat adaptors or the bassinets. But once we started using it, we loved it!

Instead, before we spent any money on a stroller, we got a Snap n Go gifted to us from someone on the local Buy Nothing group. I'm so glad we were able to try that first because it gave us time to figure out what exactly our needs would be without having to shell out hundreds of dollars. Even if you buy one of these new it's still not very expensive. But I'd still ask around on your local mom groups and buy nothing groups. I've found that there's always a twin mom in there somewhere dying to pass on all her newborn twin gear to another twin mom!

This is the foam mat we have. It really makes a difference when they tumble over.

We got it on Amazon

I decided to create a flag to represent the twins. Indeed, I am concerned by this theme because I have a twin brother.

For this flag, I wanted to use a simple symbolism so that everyone could easily understand the symbolism of the flag. First of all, we can see the astrological symbol of Gemini. This symbol represents the constellation of Gemini. This constellation symbolizes twinning, because it represents Castor and Pollux who were twins in Greek mythology. On the other hand, I chose two colours, white and black. These two colours are not chosen at random. Black and white are two opposite colours. This highlights the fact that even if twins look alike, they are different. However, black and white can remind us of the colours of yin and yang. Even if this symbol evokes a duality, it allows us to evoke complementarity. For me this aspect is important to describe the twins. There is a strong solidarity between the two twins. Finally, I decided to do a symmetry to give a mirror effect to the flag. Twins are often considered as "mirror brothers".

On the other hand, this flag is suitable for "identical twins" as well as "fraternal twins".

I have tried to respect as much as possible the basic principles to create a "good flag". However, I did not respect the rule of being able to redraw this flag easily.

Finally, I would like this flag to become a symbol where all the twins could gather and identify themselves. I find it unfortunate that people in general reduce twins to mirror brothers without nuances. I hope that this flag will help to move in that direction and that the twins will be proud of this flag and who they are.
