BOYS & GIRLS

As adults we know that there are many ways that men and women are different, but recently I have been observing it more and more in my children. Nolan and Lily are so different. For example, when Lily has to get changed (if she doesn't go on the "big kid potty"), she HAS to have a pillow under her head and hold a stuffed animal. Nolan on the other hand, rather place things down in his diaper area. At meal times, Nolan goes for it with full force, full hands and everything... Lily is a bit more reserved. She has to make sure its the right temperature, has to have a napkin and when she spills or get food on the floor, it becomes top priority to have it cleaned up. Lily asks to be cleaned up and we have to hold down Nolan to get his face and hands cleaned. Whats the one thing they both like to do....sweep and put shoes away. Yep, whenever either of them sees an opening to, they have a beeline to the broom and dustpan. In fact, we recently spent some time at great grandma Welker's house and they each played with a broom for two hours. And if they see that shoes aren't where they are supposed to be, they help us out and throw them to the front door (where we keep them). And if you are lucky Lily or Nolan will bring you your shoes when its time to go "bye bye" or if a guest if leaving our house.
