They grew more to the "middle" as they got older though and, at times, even reversed roles. It will all even out with yours, I'd guess.<br /><br />Suggestion: You should consider selecting pseudonyms other than "X-Year Old Daughter". Might save a few keystrokes. And make the stories that much more endearing.<br /><br />Cheers!Robhttp://tomeoftheunknownblogger.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4341308729189935273.post-38171009150937091142010-11-13T07:20:21.866-05:002010-11-13T07:20:21.866-05:00Those first kids get all that pent up anxiety and ...Those first kids get all that pent up anxiety and nervousness of the first time parents along with a lot of undivided attention, i think that contributes to the first child syndrome, the second get "oh hell we've done this before whey worry" from mom and dad but i believe there is truth in that theory... and this isn't daddy blog drivel it's what life is all about now innit?Konohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13865029570865495659noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4341308729189935273.post-61565880381155894792010-11-12T18:47:09.078-05:002010-11-12T18:47:09.078-05:00What an wonderful post...I can't wait to see a...What an wonderful post...I can't wait to see all of you. It is funny how they are different but if you think about one takes on your characteristics and the other takes on those of Mrs. Wife I will leave it up to you to decide which is which. Just think how boring life would be if they were the same. I love my girls both and enjoy their differences daily.
