Unique: I love how my two kids are different. I have heard it said that people could have a bunch of kids and each one would be completely different. I believe that and see it in kids in all families. I watched this program on TV once where a family had twelve kids and they were home schooled. Each child was different and unique and we just love them so much for that.
Serious Crazy: My oldest son is serious crazy. This seems a contradiction in terms, however it is the case with this kid. He is serious and does not seem to be imaginative, as is the case with his father. He likes things to be within the lines and in the box. He is serious in that he likes things just so but yet he is crazy because he can cut loose most all of the time. He sings in the shower, he makes noise in the car, he is just an all out nut. This is just part of why we love him so very much! There is hardly any time where he cannot make sound effects for something. But he has to see the rules in things and I just love how he is so serious about stuff. I mean the kid just rocks.
Creative Thinker: One of my kids is a creative thinker. He waits to answer most any question he's asked, therefore he is a thinker. He's also creative: he's a writer, a picture taker, an imaginative sort (he really is writing a non-fiction book - he told me that it is). He's mushy and squishy - he says he loves me all of the time and he wants to sit with me and give me love. He's always been a kid that thinks about stuff though; when a person asks him something he is not impetuous. He does not act rashly but thinks and answers later. He has a big vocabulary but he is not trying to impress anybody, he is not an annoying child.
Best Friends: My kids are so different but yet they are the best of friends, really. I am not just a parent who is in la-la land here. My kids really do get along and always have. They are almost exactly two years apart and my oldest son declared the younger one his best friend when he was two; that has never changed. I would not change anything about my kids or their relationship. I am very fortunate to have two boys, two years apart. I remember people would see me in the store and say how awful it must be or that I must have my hands full or just wait, it will get worse. It hasn't and I have not looked back. I love my kids so very much. I want to encourage these best friends and the differences just make them better every day.
