Meet Caleb and Matthew our Twinnies of the month!

Twiniversity and Step2 would like to introduce you to Caleb and Matthew, our first twinnies of the month for 2012!

Caleb and Matthew are 28 month old identical boys from Michigan. Their Mom Elizabeth says “The boys love learning, and we are having so much fun indulging this passion!  Caleb and Matthew love maps and they have memorized all of the states, can name them simply by the shape, and can put them where they belong on the map.”

Caleb and Matthew do States and Capitals- 27 months

My husband also sparked an interest in chemistry in the boys.  A few weeks ago my husband gave his 8th graders a quiz where they had to memorize 41 elements on the periodic table.  He wanted to see if our boys could learn them in the same amount of time.  Here they are four days later…

Each month we will choose one set of multiples that stand out above the rest. Send in your funniest pictures, most clever videos, heart melting photos or whatever makes you think your kiddos are tops!

Ready to enter? Here’s what you do. Email Community@Twiniversity.com with the subject “Twinnies of the Month” and tell us why your twinnies are awesome. Include pictures and/or a video (YouTube links would be great) to back up your story. Maybe they just wrecked your bathroom smearing baby lotion all over the place, maybe your multiples just learned to drive and crashed through the garage door! Whatever makes them different, interesting, and outstanding, tell us!

All submissions will be considered by our team and if your multiples are chosen, an awesome prize will come their way!
