A mum couldn’t stop laughing when her identical twin daughters came home from their first day at nursery
A mother was in stitches after seeing her twin daughters following their first day at nursery.
Entrusting your children to childcare or leaving them in someone else’s care for the day represents a significant milestone for any parent.
Having spent months bonding with your baby, the separation can prove jarring and feel distinctly unnatural.
Both mums and dads, along with the child, must adjust to unfamiliar routines and faces, which can require considerable time.
However, one parent found herself crying with laughter following her twin daughters’ maiden nursery experience.
Natalya, aged 29 and mother to four girls all under four years old, revealed what she discovered when her identical twins returned home from nursery.
When they arrived back, the girls, Thea and Faye, were lying on their stomachs playing when Natalya noticed something attached to the back of their T-shirts.
It seemed the nursery staff had employed parcel tape to label each child, enabling them to distinguish between the pair.
Natalya posted the footage on her TikTok account, @withnatalya_, captioning it ‘how my identical twins were sent home from their first day’.
The clip left parents in hysterics as they remembered comparable experiences with their own twins. Nursery workers and childcare professionals also contributed their accounts of managing twins.
One commenter wrote: “We did this at the beginning of the year and few months in we knew who was who – but dad had to ask the girls every pick up ‘which one are you?’” Another person shared: “I have identical twin toddler girls in my class, I’ve been able to identify their different personality traits.”
They explained: “One is more of my Velcro baby than the other, but mom got their ears pierced as infants so one wears pink earrings and one wears purple.”
Adding further: “She also often dresses them in their respective assigned colour and their water bottles they bring from home are also are pink and purple.”
A third commenter revealed: “The daycare our twins go to, is owned by identical twins. So they are SPOILED there. They had to go to a new class for one day and this is how they came home, I giggled.”
