Educating, loving, and raising twins

Raising twins is probably the coolest and most unique thing ever.  Watching two humans, who were grown in the same womb, flourish and grow together and separate is like one big giant science experiment.

For some reason, the world tries its hardest to separate multiples.  Dress them differently, put them in different classes, make sure they are individuals.  Here's the thing about twins: part of their identity is the fact that they are twins. 

As a parent of multiples, it's our job to protect their identity.  We need to partner with and educate the educators, and remind them that we need to follow Ella and Sydney's lead on when they need to be together and when they need to be separate.  Their bond is this magical thing that's beyond anyone's control.  So I've decided to write a letter to their teachers as they entered a "preschool" classroom.  Now that Ella and Sydney are more communicative, and teachers verbalize what they "think" is best for them, I thought it was best to lay the groundwork for teaching and loving good humans, since they are such an integral part of their lives.  And my plan is to amend this letter each year for new teachers and classrooms and their situation (together or separate).
