1. 2yo twins with different sleep needs?
--------------------------------------------------------

 hi my 2 yo daughter has had difficulties going to sleep
 since day one that continue to this day. her twin
 brother gets tired and generally falls asleep easily.
 she is the night owl and he is the early bird. their
 whole lives. at the moment, things are particularly
 bad, where she takes forever to fall asleep. last night
 2 hours!! tonight is not looking so good, either. i
 guess my question is does anyone else have a similar
 kind of situation? any ideas? i don't want them to go
 to bed any later, because they need to get up in the
 morning and because my son gets tired. i don't see
 splitting up bedtimes as possible for my sanity. it is
 possible we aren't responding in the proper way, but
 she does not respond well to cry-it-out and she seems
 like she is trying to sleep. a phase? any thoughts?

2. Daycare or Preschool options

 Hi there,My husband and I have 3 week old twin boys. 
 We have the vague notion we should have signed up for
 daycare or preschool when pregnant (we actually don't
 know the difference between the edu options prior to
 kindergarten) and are looking for recommendations on
 options and ideas on approx cost. We have a strong
 preference for Montessouri method and Cantonese
 language immersion both in SF and Palo Alto area.Any
 insights would be much appreciated.Max

 Preschool is really for older toddlers, 2.5 or 3 years
 old. For infants or younger toddlers, the general term
 is day care. Please note that a high-quality day care
 for two infants will be roughly equal in cost to a
 nanny ($3500/month+), so you may wish to evaluate a
 nanny as an option in addition to day care.

 We kept the hospital bands on (doing only one is
 probably the best idea) and then painted the big toe on
 one after the hospital bands came off. It was funny in
 the beginning, we did mix them up. We know because one
 had a bruise on the butt, so we would just check that. 
 They have been nearly the same weight since birth, only
 ever a difference of 3oz around 3 months. They are
 five months now and it is getting easier but I still
 question my judgment when someone hands me one.

 I was worried about this, too, when I was pregnant. I
 even packed some nail polish in my hospital "go" bag. 
 I laugh at this now because one turned out to be a
 blonde; the other is a brunette.
