Deja Vu

I love going through old photographs and seeing the similarities between my kids.

Exhibit A:

The boy on the left is MyEldest — who still needs a new nick! — on his 1st birthday (way back in 1999). The boy on the right is Twin2, circa 2007, when he was just a little over a year old. I find the resemblance so uncanny. One can be mistaken into thinking that they’re one and the same boy, don’t you think?!

Exhibit B:

The boy on the left is RoundBoy, the boy on the right is Twin1. Both photos were taken this year. There’s just something about those eyes…and those lips…that gives me a strange feeling of deja vu!

I wonder how the twins will look like 5 years from now? Will they look more like MyEldest? Or will they resemble RoundBoy more?

But the biggest question of all is: how can it be possible for identical twins to look so alike at times… and look so different in other occasions?
