I love having twins
- Because i get double the kisses, hugs, love and everything. I also get attention when i'm at malls, or when i give advice on how to handle sick kids. What i love mostly is seeing myself in them, like their personalities, how they think, how they do things.

I am one.
- I love being a twin. I like when people ask if we can read each other's minds. it might seem like it sometimes but I just know my twin so well, I usually am pretty good at guessing what she's thinking. One thing that really bothers me is when people ask what it's like being a twin. "I have no clue. What is it like being a singleton?"

- I love the miracle that it is, because I am the 1st in many generations to have twins. I told my friends when I first got pregnant that this was going to be a special child. Well, i was right, but instead of one child, I had two. My baby brandon & My amazing kyra

The good days are twice as good
- No doubt there are rough days with twins whether they're babies or toddlers. And some days everyone has a good cry together. But that being said, the good days are so much more than I could have imagined. Watching my twins learn to crawl towards each other to play together, learn to hug and kiss each other, give high fives to each other, bring soothers/water/snacks to each other has melted my heart! Watching two children grow and learn and discover new things side by side at the same time is so amazing. Watching them look for each other when one has woken up before the other or left the room makes me smile every time. Also, seeing them make each other laugh while playing together reminds me how blessed I am and causes me to take a minute to pause and be thankful. And nothing beats double hugs and kisses!

BFF
- Well, I'm not close to being a mother. My best friend Sophia, or as I call her Phia, is a twin. She usually gets along fine with her twin, Alexis. They're 17, so it's probably all of the past experiences that taught them how to love each other without all of the fighting. They're a joy to be around. One of my favorite twin memories: I was just talking to Phia while Alexis was a few feet away watching something. This random guy came and asked if they could read each other's minds. Phia, being the sarcastic goof she is, says yes, then stares at Alexis for a second, as Alexis gestured her irritation to her twin. Phia then turns back and says "She thinks you're being rude and you should leave." He left, while we died laughing. They're some of the best friends I could ask for.

My Twins
- My twins are 2 months. Leonardo (Leo) is a few minutes older then Delilah (Lila). I love them so much! It is interesting too have mix gender twins, they share a room and love to do everything together. I hope they will stick together when they get older and not fight to much. Since I am a teacher I see many mix gender twins that don't really wan't a part of each other and have there own friends which is nice, but there is another pair in the 7h grade that I adore because they take such good care of each other and don't care if they talk to each others friends. I also have a older son and I am excepting a girl. The twins love to be with there 4 year old brother Henry and they love to feel my stomach for their new sister. Although It is hard to have so many kids in the house...life would not be fun. Leo always asks me to name his sister Devon, but Lila likes Avery...I will have to decide soon!!!

Being One
- I don't have twins (although my monozygotic twin has dizygotic twins of her own), but I have always loved being one. I can agree with and relate to so many of the things you have pointed out in your articles. What a wonderful resource for parents of twins! My sister and I are the dearest people in the world to each other. We have lived in different cities, states, countries and continents, but are still as close as if she lived next door (a future goal). Thank you for sharing your twin insights and experiences. Your girls are blessed to have a mother who chooses to be so well-informed about her identical, individual girls.

Double Blessings
- I love having twins for many reasons like: I only had to deal with pregnancy once and got two completely perfect angels (and who doesn't love a twofer?!), they always have a built in playmate/BFF, and I feel like I'm a member of a super exclusive "by God's invitation only" sorority!

Two peas in a pod
- I love that I got the price of two. My two precious gems were a gift from God. I love the fact that they play together and they would understand the gift of sharing and loving one another. I was the only one at my house at one point now I have a husband and two babies that amazes me everyday. I love them so much and I don't know what I would do if I didn't have them in my life.

"Surprise!!!!!"
- I felt like I had won the lottery, I had always been one of those mums looking in at that elite club. And yes it is special, my daughter thinks it's wonderful that she has a perfect prince to join in her princess role playing, and he has a perfect gwen to join in his ben ten role playing. The sweetest thing they do is when one goes shopping without the other they insist on buying their twin the same, that never happened with my other singleton children. That's when I knew they had a special bond. I'm still in awe at the surprise of my twins!
