Twins????

I realised the other day that I've kind of stuck myself in this hole of people always thinking our girls are twins.They are the same height sitting in a trolley,and then I go and dress them in matching clothes,like all of the time!I cant seem to stop myself from doing it. So my lesson learnt today?Dont get angry when people assume you have twins!'

My mum told me the other day that they are 'Írish' twins.Not a phrase I had ever heard,so I had a group of older women explaining to me!Seems a bit racist to me haha. But yes they are kind of like twins,they share their clothes,their toys,their FOOD! Up until earlier this week they even shared a room. They have matching duvet sets, matching beds. They sit in a pushchair together. They swap careseats,depending on who gets to which one first.

Now my mum used to dress particularly me and my sister (though I have a photo of my brother wearing colour co-ordinated clothes with us!) in matching clothes and there is 5 years between us. So the question I'm kind of asking myself at the moment is, 'are my girls going to look back one day and hate me for this?Or can I hope like hell they will still be sharing everything even when they are teens?' Am I doing them a dis-service??

I think Im going to go out for a walk with them in their double pushchair,in their matching gumboots, jackets and hats and ponder this :)
