I never thought I'd do it
Before I was a mom, I never thought that I would dress my kids alike, not even if I had twins. Just another one of those "I'll never do that" thoughts that went right out the window once I became a baby buncher.
It's not every day, but it's often enough that my kids are in matching clothes.
The reality of it is that my kids are so close in age, I'm usually shopping in the same store, often in the same section for them.
When there are sales, it's the same clothes but in different sizes that are on sale. So, do I just get them each one thing but it's different from what I get the others? Or, do I get them each three new shirts that match each other? No brainer to me. I'm not going to pass up something like a Children's Place fleece for $1.99 because my boys would match if I got it for them.
Now, I know that I could buy them the same clothes and not have them wear them on the same day. But, it's so easy to decide what one is wearing and then just get the same thing out for the other two.
And, if we are going out in public somewhere, particuarly if it's somewhere where one of them could run off(like the children's museum or the zoo or Walmart, if I'm being honest), it's easier to have them all dressed alike, so I can say "Have you seen another child who is wearing this outfit but is a bit bigger/smaller?"
Alright, it's never actually come to that, but it is easier for me to do my one, two, three count(where I am constantly keeping an eye on where my boys are- counting them one, two, three), when they have on the same outfit. They stand out from the crowd that way.
Until they get old enough to complain about it, I'll continue to buy them matching clothes.
