So Different

How is it that two kids from the same parents can be so different.  The nature/nurture debate?  I reckon they are sent to us “different” to keep us on our toes.  We could never do with one what we do with the other.  We could never think about one the way we do the other.  Conversations and questions are different.  I absolutely love it.

At the moment the big joke is that every morning we offer for Jords to stay home from school – bunk!  She would way sooner eat a tongue and pickle sandwich with butter (which she hates) than take us up on our offer.  Carli on the other hand wakes up every morning and asks to bunk school.  And what would really make it a perfect day would be to give her a tub of butter to stick her fingers in and eat away.

The beauty for me is how I am able to be different for them.  Of course they both need my love, nurturing, mothering but I am kept on my toes to catch those moments when they need me to meet them in their unique space.  Their individual worlds that are different and so very beautiful.
