Before & During my last pregnancy I had several conversations with other moms that had 2 or more children regarding the differences between siblings. Most people would explain that their children were complete opposites, which was shocking to me. How could children that share dna with the same parents possibly be so different. Well, as a parent of such two children I dont have the answer to that question yet I know first hand it is possible.

When my oldest Mackensi was a todler I can remember having conversations with my mother in law about how she was not a great baby in the sense that she cried alot & required a lot of attention. As a todler she was very smart, she talked in plain sentences and could carry on conversations with adults with no problem. She was very independant, she wanted to do everything on her own. She was also very cautious. She didnt wander away from me, she didn't like strangers, she was afraid of anything new, anything loud and she was more likely to run away crying when mad instead of getting physical.

My yougest daughter, Madison, was the best baby I have ever seen. The only time you would hear a whimper from her would be if she was hungry or needed a diaper change. I was so happy that she was already showing signs of being differnt from her sister. My husband and I told everyone that we must have been through the worst with our first kid and now we would get the more laid back kid. We couldn't have been more wrong!

My precious Madison already has been named "MAD MADI" from the family. She was a great baby, but the "terrible two's" set in when she turned 1 year old. From the time she learned to walk she was on the go and into everything. No matter how many times we tell her NO, she would still do it. No matter how many spankings or time outs, she still got in trouble. She is the child that bites/hits herself as well as others. She draws on the walls, throws things when mad and breaks things. She is a daredevil. She isnt afraid of anything new, and often wanders away laughing when we cant find her.

She definately makes me thankful for my hystorectomy. A child like my Madison would make anyone think twice about having more children :)
