I am the second oldest of four girls. We are all so different but still alike in many ways. My youngest sister and I are the most alike. There's very few differences in our personalities.
I have been noticing how much my kids are like me and my sisters. I have four kids (1 boy and 3 girls).
Connor, my oldest, reminds me so much of my older sister, Jen. He's moody sometimes. He plays with his sisters but not often. He'd rather play by himself. He's a little shy at times. He's a follower not a leader. >>> But he is a lot like me also. He's sensitive. His feelings get hurt so easily. He has a temper. He is constantly trying to please everyone. He worries non stop.
Lilly, my second oldest, reminds me a lot of myself in so many ways. She does very well in school. She loves writing stories. She helps with her younger sisters all the time. But she is so hard on herself. She is very self critical. I think sometimes she feels more like the oldest than the second oldest.
Kerri, my third, reminds me of my younger sister, Kim. She's such a clown. She loves to make people happy (but not laugh, if they laugh at her she cries). She's always making silly faces and making up silly dances. >>> On the flip side she is like me. She's a perfectionist. Everything has to be "just right" and HER way. I was always considered the "problem child"......Kerri is definitely my most "difficult" child.
Bella, my youngest, is just like my younger sister, Sara. She is the sweetest baby you will ever meet. Plus she's the baby of the family and she takes advantage of that. She knows everyone is going to give her what she wants cause she's the cute little baby. >>> But she has a temper, just like me. She is a biter just like I was when I was little. She can be a mean little snot when she doesn't get her way.
My sisters and I have all grown up to be great women. We love our families. So whether my kids grow up to be like me or one of my sisters I will be happy with who they become.
Aw! How Cute!
