It's so funny how different my kids are, yet still alike in some aspects, and I can't wait to see where #3 fits into the spectrum.
Drew has always been our sensitive one who gets nervous to try anything new and doesn't do well with any pressure placed on him. He'd prefer to engineer a lego or do a science project than shoot baskets and he still loves sleeping with his stuffed animals at 7 years old. With his friends, he's amazing but if he's in a group of new kids it takes him a while to warm up. He still doesn't loved to be touched and prefers to not snuggle yet he'll often say very sweet things on his own and has been offering his help more and more around the house. He doesn't argue about doing his homework and has always been our amazing rule follower.
Ady, on the other hand, is our social butterfly and will make friends with, and play with, anyone and everyone anywhere we go. We were just at Chick Fil A for the 9000th time this week and she met a new boy and struck up an imaginary play with him immediately. She's so full of sass and still 100% our snuggler but man she can flip and do a 180 if you say something or do something how she doesn't like. This one tends to bend rules a bit and already hides things behind her back that she knows she's not supposed to have.
One thing they both have in common, though, is their excitement for baby boy. Ady can't wait to 'snuggle and kiss him all over' and Drew is excited to teach him sports as he grows up!
That is one lucky little brother that is coming along. He is going to be so loved.
ReplyDeleteI have two girls & even they are so different - the eldest was the "problem child" while the youngest saw & learned what NOT to do from her sister. It will be interesting to see what the third will add to the mix. :)
