Advice History
Baby Temperaments
My sons' bedrooms sum up the differences in their personalities. One is orderly and organized and the other, well... let's call him "creative."
It still surprises me that my two babies could wind up so different - and sometimes, so different from me. But I've learned to appreciate their differences without pushing them into my own personality mold.
When they were babies, I tried to follow their lead. One kids was inquisitive, always interested in how things worked. As a toddler, he even got down on the ground to figure out what was making the merry go round work. I'm not much of an engineer type, but I learned to cultivate is love for figuring out how things work.
My other son loves food, so I've always tried to make sure he tries new things, even if they're things I'd never put in my mouth. As he got older, I let him cook with me and even now, he loves to bag at the supermarket. Hey, make it work for you, too!
