His Own Man(?)

Isn't it truly amazing how different two siblings can be? We are amused everyday, comparing our beautiful girl and handsome son, each with their own distinct personalities. First, you've got Miss Katie, truly a wonderful, sweet soul. She adores people, but not the noises that come with them. She loves to learn new things, but doesn't always enjoy the new environments that accompany those things. She loves to take care of others, but thrives on being taken care of herself. ("What, Mommy, you actually want me to dress myself?") Then there is Mr. Michael, who is quickly becoming his own independent man. He dives headfirst into new situations, trying to learn through every single one of his five senses (taste being the top priority!). He rejoices whenever he overcomes a new obstacle, literally standing tall and squealing at the top of his lungs. And, foremost, he thrives on his independence, quickly completing tasks (like undressing himself) that Big Sis wouldn't have even cared to try. This, this fascinating difference in these two incredible beings, is what makes having kids so fun.

But....on the other hand, at least 3 or 4 people mistake Michael for a girl every day, so perhaps they really are more similar than we could imagine....
