Sergey and Egor Nakvasiny, 2 years
Photo:Nakvasin family archiveEkaterina Nakvasina, mother:My husband and I came up with our own term - some have twins, others have twins, and for us - twins! Sergey is exactly one minute older than Egor.How did you react to the news that you were having twins?When I first got pregnant, I had severe toxicosis and had to seek medical help. And so, at 12 weeks, I had my first ultrasound, which diagnosed monochorionic twins. There was no limit to my happiness, the whole family rejoiced! From that moment on, we had to completely rebuild our lives.Have you ever had twins or triplets in your family before?There are twins on both sides of our family.What are the special features of raising twins?In everything. For example, I had to come up with my own methods of feeding and rocking the children. And even invent how to dress the children, since I have only one hand, and two of them. Do you dress your children the same?Yes, but not because we want it. Somewhere around one and a half years old, a terrible rivalry began: give me a T-shirt like my brother, give me a toy... God forbid someone has something different, a fight is guaranteed. How are your children similar and how are they different?Both are active, not a second of peace! The difference in character is immediately visible - Egor is willful, Sergey is more accommodating. Do they have a "special language" for communicating with each other?Yes, and it really is special - understandable only to them. How do people around you react to your children?Children are always in the center of attention, they are looked at, they want to come up to them and touch them. Have there been any interesting or funny stories?They invent something every day! They build things out of chairs, love to play with water. Despite the eternal rivalry, they are always together. If one of them takes a candy, then he will definitely take the second one with the words: "I'll take Blatika!" When I clean, they ask for a broom or a vacuum cleaner to help! In general, they grow up as helpers. Vote for Sergey and Egor on the last page.
