Everyday it amazes me so much how different 2 kids can be from each other but come from the same family. Chase and Kori are 12 months and 2 weeks to the day apart. In other words very close. In many ways they are just like twins: they look exactly alike, they are the same height, Kori actually outweighs Chase by about 10 pounds, play very well together, like alot of the same stuff: dinosaurs, spaceships, animals, did I mention dinosaurs. Also did you notice how nothing was girlie at all. Kori is a total tomboy and has said a few times that when she grows up she wants to be a boy. But putting aside all of their similarities that they do have they are so different in how they act is what amazes me. Chase is our sensitive one-Kori is our strong one most of the time. Chase never wants to get into trouble, Kori doesn't care if she gets in trouble. It is worth it to her. Chase wants to please everyone, Kori doesn't care about pleasing anyone but herself and her current boyfriend at church. She will do anything for Reid. ( He is 17.) Her other boyfriend that moved away was 40 something. Not too worried yet. You can convince Chase to do just about anything if we really try hard, well with Kori your not going to convince her to do anything she doesn't want to. (Which I see as a great trait when she gets older with peer pressure.) Chase doesn't care to much about being a leader whereas Kori is a born leader. Chase doesn't like change-Kori is all about change. Chase fights his sleep with all his might- Kori will tell us that she is tired and ready for bed. Chase is very picky about his food and lets just say Kori loves food and will try anything at least once. Chase is afraid of anyone new and Kori knows no stranger. Everyone is her friend. Chase is very nice and sweet and Kori is willing to pick a fight with anyone and everyone if need be. Chase is just takes a about once or twice to mind Kori it is several times and usually ends with a spanking because she still isn't doing it. All and all they are great, wonderful loving kids that I wouldn't trade for anything in the world. Oh and lets not forget about Reef. I am anxious to see if he is more like Chase, Kori, or a nice mixture of the both of them. Right now he loves dinosaurs as well, He is like Chase in that he fights his sleep, he does mind at times, but yet he has Kori's temperment, can get very hostile if things don't go his way. He is a cuddle bug and seems to be very bossy to Chase and Kori- even though you can't understand a word he is saying it just sounds very bossy. So as of right now I would say he has a mixture of them both. Thats all for now just thought that I would pass on how alike and different my kids are and wondering how same and different everyone else's children are. It is simply amazing how alike and how different your kids can be from each other being raised in the same house by the same parents. Simply amazing!!!
