Yin & Yang

I am sure I’ve said this before, but I am often left wondering how two children, of the same sex, from the same parents, raised in the same household can be so fundamentally different – as my boys are. Here’s a fun story about one of their differences…

A few nights ago Ethan woke up crying in the night from a “bad dream”. He was bawling & sobbing and couldn’t catch his breath – he was crying so hard. Alex went into his room and said “What’s the matter E?”. To which Ethan replies “I had a bad dream – the Wii crashed and we lost all our Gold Stars!”

This was hilarious in and of itself. All I could think was – Is he his father’s son or what?

Then a few days later my girlfriend C and I took our kids out for ice cream. I begin relating this story to her. When I get to the part about the Wii crashing – Xan says, in all seriousness “Don’t be ridiculous Ethan, Wiis can’t fly!”.

They are SO SO different!
