[quote=Anonymous]I have fraternal twins, but through our multiples club, we know many families with identical twins.  If you way that are indistinguishable, I would doubt you actually have twins.  I have yet to meet a twin family where the parents could not tell the twins (even identical ones) apart.  And a full-time caregiver would learn to distinguish between them.  It may be something small from the way one leans her head to the left and the other doesn't to one always picks the purple toy first and the other picks the pink toy first.  Maybe one eats yogurt and the other doesn't.  Someone who is with the children for 30+ hours per week will notice some inconsistencies in behavior, demeanor or body language that will stand out.  And this is if they are pre-verbal.  If they are verbal, it's going to be even harder.

And you don't want to do this.  To enroll them in daycare, you will be have to submit a medical record.  If you enroll two children with one medical record, that constitutes fraud.

I recommend that you take the suggestion to talk to a daycare about sharing a spot between your two children.  [/quote]
