So the question we get asked the most, which I am sure all parents of identical twins is asked, is "How do you tell them a part?" Well my friends... I am about to disclose all of the tricks to distinguishing the Bemis Boys.
Will
- He has a big raspberry (or red marker as Josie calls it) on his tummy. But if the clothes are all on (which they not always are) then keep reading
- He is a little smaller than Ben
- He squints when he smiles. His nose scrunches up and he furrows his brow
- He is fast!
- He is more laid back like daddy. He gets that there are a couple other kids in the house so he is content waiting his turn.
- He has a higher laugh, like a squeal to be more honest.
- He may not greet strangers with a huge smile, but he is definitely more comfortable with them than brother.
Ben
- He has a little raspberry on his head, behind his left ear.
- He is a little bigger, only a couple of ounces.
- He has a small dimple on his left cheek when he smiles.
- He likes to be on the move, but takes his time getting there.
- He is more demanding, like mom :) If both boys are crying I will pick up Ben and put a hand on Will to calm them down. If I try to do this the other way around, it doesn't work well.
- He growls when he talks and when he eats. He just learned how to spit when he eats (joy!)
- He will greet a stranger with his best smile. He will make them think he is cool with them. Once they get closer, he isn't too keen on them being so close after all. He is a trickster that way.
