[quote=Anonymous]Our identical twins have always been very close. To be honest, DH and I think it's a bit closer than most identical twins, and we're not sure if it's somehow too close. When they were infants, they shared a crib. Then they shared a room. When we moved to a house with enough bedrooms for them to have their own, they insisted they wanted to share (at age 2.5). Every half a year or so, we ask if they want to have separate rooms, and they say no. We ask individually. They always want to buy the same clothes. We have convinced them to wear the same styles but different colors, and they have convinced us to let them wear identical pjs. They always want to eat the same thing. If I offer oatmeal and one makes a face, the other will say to her "do you want to want something else? we could want eggs," and then they will deliver their verdict as a unit. "we would like eggs instead of oatmeal." They want to take all the same classes, together. They will physically separate, but never for more than a couple of hours. When they go to sleep at night they say "good night I love you" and in the mornings they hug and say "I missed you so much". When they play they play the same thing probably about 50% of the time, and if they're playing different things, they do them near each other.

This fall they start kindergarten. DH and I told them today, separately, that we're going to put them in the same school but different classrooms, and each had the same reaction. Hysterically crying and begging to be together, saying they'd miss the other terribly, they don't want to go if they can't be together. Neither was home while the other was told, so it's not as if one was copying the other's reaction.

I want school to be a good and happy experience for them. Should we just let them be in the same class? The school said it's up to us. Are they too close? Is that possible? [/quote]
