Everyway Different!

Everyday I say to someone that my two children are such opposites, and everyday I think it more and more. We never had to baby proof the house with Tyler. You tell Tyler no, he stopped. He never climbed up on chairs that were to big for him, he never put random objects in his mouth, he would never color on a wall or destroy anything. He wants to fix not break! Samantha has the devil in her, destroy and conquer! Everything goes in her mouth, you tell her no and she smiles and keeps going, and she is constantly climbing on, over and into things(such as the toilet). If she knows your watching it only makes her smile bigger!

Tyler isn't an emotional boy. He will cry if he is hurt but he gets up pretty fast. Sam on the other hand is a drama queen at ONE. You look at her wrong she cries, you tell her no she cries. Not just a regular cry but a cry that screams you just killed my dog. I don't know how many times a day we roll our eyes at her when she starts her show.

This morning I realized another difference. My summer mornings are not going to be the same as those in the past. In the past, Tyler would wake up about 7:30 and I could get him some milk and a blanket, we would curl up on the couch watch Disney for about and hour and I would get a bit more sleep. He loves TV! It has always occupied his mornings and before bed. He will sit for an hour if it interests him. Not Samzilla! She woke up this morning at 6:44 am and was ready to go. I gave her milk and put on cartoons and she wanted nothing but mommy to play! She doesn't even recognize the television as being on. No being lazy in the mornings...this is going to kill me!


I just love watching every difference unfold. Tyler is all boy, and will always be a MaMa's boy. He is going to have two feet on the ground and think before he acts. Samantha on the other hand is going fly by the seat of her pants and act on emotion (I don't know where she would get that from). She is going to do what she wants, how she wants to do it. I see many arguements between father and daughter. I also believe someone is going to very embarressed that I am her mother....yeah...can't wait!
