Differences

I know they say each child has their own personality, but here is an example that is very normal in my house.

Last night Tyler made pancakes, eggs, strawberries, and watermelon for dinner. He called the kids over to eat and Cohen climbs his chair looks at his plate says "thank-you" and licks his plate clean. He then gets up puts it in the sink and goes off to play.

Hailee gets into her chair and says loudly that she does not like watermelon (new development)pushes her plate away and sulks and whines till she finally eats half her food before stomping upstairs. Tyler has to force her to come down and put her stuff away followed by more sulking. Over watermelon????

She is so exhausting!! Luckily she has her sweet side. Yesterday she helped me by folding towels, sweeping the floor and putting shirts on hangers without being asked to. But this was after an hour whining session about not being able to go to Grandma's house. Sometimes I think she has split personalities. Tyler said she is just a girl. Maybe so, but she is one crazy girl! Luckily she is cute!
