I can not believe the differences in my children's personalities. They were created by the same parents. They are only 3 years apart in age. I believe we've shown them the same love and attention. However, the way they handle situations is approached by completely different attitudes. Amazing.
One has always challenged me at every step, the other has been consistently more cooperative. I've talked and talked with both of them through out their lives. My conversations and actions are accepted so much easier by one of my children, while I can almost guarantee I will be challenged by the other. Their ages haven't made one bit of difference. They are who they are.
I try to keep a sense of humor about this strong personality. She's definitely taught me a thing or two (or two hundred!) about myself. And for that I'm grateful. And... incredibly exhausted.
