SO, being that I had a girl first I have had a lot of fun seeing the difference between boys and girls. Let me start with some personality differences in my children.
Haylie is energetic, playful, stubborn, very bright, talkative, wants to be involved, outgoing and shy depending on the situation, and she can get very focused on things whether its drawing/coloring, watching a show/movie or reading. She took on the very common role of helper/mother person when Hunter was born. She is a type-a+ so she is somewhat controlling, but not overly-so most of the time. She and Hunter run all over the house all the time and play or get into tons of stuff
Hunter is lovey/cuddly, talkative, always moving, also very bright, sweet, into everything, and eager to learn.
This is where I begin with why boys are dumb...
Some of you may know we have two cats. Well my genius son thinks that Cat food is AWESOME! He sometimes likes to dabble with the cat litter as well. Also AWESOME! He frequently climbs on everything. This is something that took Haylie a while to get into. Hunter however climbs on anything, sturdy or not, and more often than not he falls off and hits his head.
While eating my son likes to look me straight in the eyes, drop his food onto the ground and say "uh oh mommy". He tries to carry things up the stairs that are as big as he is, and he has only been doing stairs for the two week we have lived here. He also has this weird habit where he crawls on the floor with his head dragging on the ground. Its like he is pushing his head around on the floor. Sometimes we think he does this just when he is tired, but not 100% on that hypothesis.
Again, those who don't know my kids... Hunter has the head size of a grown up. Luckily it doesn't look too disproportionate, but it is definitely bigger than the average 1.5 yr old. So the fact that he falls on his head is almost an expected event. However, if he doesn't start being smarter about things than I am going to get CPS called on me for abuse or neglect or something. He continually has bruises and black eyes and red marks all over his forehead and face. Maybe someday he will smarten up... then again, looking at his dad.... ;o)
Hey I saw on FB that you started a blog! Looking forward to reading about your adorable family!
