Do they set each other off?

I found a daycare that will take my boys for 2 half days a week but both times I took them, they freaked out and I couldn't even put them down. This has never happend before. Anyways, I have found that if one starts crying and it is genuine (either hurt or scared), the other will start freaking too. The same goes with laughing. If I am tickling one, the other will start laughing too. Does this happen to anyone else?

Not here, sorry. If one is hurt or sad they try and comfort but generally do not cry. Are your twins identical?

 

My ID twins will do this. Sometimes when they are crying it is almost liek they are trying to get our attention quicker so we will take care of the other one.

 

My boys are fraternal, but we find them saying the same stuff at the same time and also the same actions. Quite interesting.

Mine do this too. Well DS is usually more resonsive to DD's emotions. If she is scared and starts crying, I can count on him to start within 3 seconds. Also, if she is laughing, he'll look at her and start laughing too. He's the more sensitive one, so that's why I think he responds more.
