Congratulations, Frank! My identical twin grandsons started kindergarten this fall. I agree with daylia, get a double leash for them. I used to scoff at people who put their kids on a tether, but after hearing what my daughter went through, trying to keep the two of them together, was just too much, sometimes, without some kind of aid. Of course when their dad was home from work it wasn't necessary.:-)

My daughter and her husband use different colours, too, but they don't have just one colour for either boy. Their personalities are distinct and their facial expressions, etc. so they usually don't have a problem telling them apart. (Though in a case as daylia mentions, it would be difficult!) Having grown up with sisters who were identical and who wore the same outfits, same colour, I can say I think one develops a sense of how to tell them apart. I used to get so frustrated when their friends owuld ask me how I could tell who was who. I grew up with them that way, so they just were.:-) Maybe it was younger sibling thing...they were there before me. We had a famous family story about our dad spanking the wrong twin, one time!

Good luck and happy times! Oh, and be sure to let them have pictures of them as individuals, too!
