Would this be ok to ask mum of twins?

[KatieFS]

Yes! Spk to mum and let her know. Could the children decide on a code? What are their interests? Get some stickers maybe they can chose?? Or make a badge perhaps??

I looked after id twins girls - we had stickers for a while... after a while you can see the differences, very subtle though and from the back or side I still didn't know difference!!

I went to school with identical twin girls in my class - I could tell them apart if they were both there as one had a squarer chin - however over the last 30 years since I left school they are never together - don't tell them but I have been blagging it all that time, the last time I bumped into one in town she said she had seen on Facebook that my brother had moved abroad - I knew then that I was talking to X as she used to work with my brother many years ago but bet I don't remember which one it is next time.

I have looked after a few sets of identical twins in my class over the years and I find that I usually find a distinguishable feature after a few months (still have the odd mix up though). The worst part is when they are old enough to mess with you, answering to each others names!!! I am daft enough at times without this lol xx

I just call everyone sweetheart all the time - even the parents. In fact even my own family

My husband is one of identical twins , I could tell them apart looking at them because one had a moustache but not on the phone.. They used to wind me up when I was first going out with him and I never knew which one I was talking to on the phone!

I used to look after identical twin baby boys and to start with I couldn't tell them apart but then after a couple of weeks I could really easily tell them apart. So you may find after a little while you can too. But I know some mums of identical twins do this sort of thing anyway and I don't think she'd be offended if you asked.

Just saw this news story, imagine four identical babies!!

How about finding they each do something good each day (preferably within minutes of arrival) and giving them each a different 'reward' sticker to wear?

Use the ones that say "Great Work!" or "Brilliant" - not the ones that say "Tweedledee" and "Tweedledum".

LOL! Must be a mans way of thinking...my husband said the same thing when I told him about this thread!
