Similar but not the same

Observations from a mom:

Caleb and Madison both have friends over this afternoon. As I drove all four kids home, all were animated and excited. All four are quite excited about the M&M cookies I have in the oven right now. All four are great kiddos. But,  that’s where the similarities end.

As I type, the girls are in the family room pretending to have a talent show with their singing puppies and ponies. Did I mention that they are cute, little Pony-in-My-Pocket-type animals that came in a little teapot-shaped purse?

The boys are in the basement rec room playing Medal of Honor on the PS2. They would be there all afternoon if I let them. Every once in a while Caleb runs through the house to his closet (which we have nicknamed The Armory) to get a weapon in case he and his buddy decide to “play army” after they’re finished on the PS2.

Nature or nurture or whatever you want to call it, these are my observations as I sit at the breakfast bar and watch their play unfold . . .
