We have two kids, born 32 minutes apart. They sleep 3 feet apart from one another, they eat 12" apart, they play on top of each other, they scream at the same time, they get hugs just as often, they get tickled the same amount, they both love staring and laughing at their naked bodies in the mirror (im just the narrator - i cant make these things up), they both think fart noises are hilarious, we talk to them together and separately, we feed them together, we put them down to bed and naps together, we read to them together - no favorites, no bias. They are on the same routine day in and day out - Please explain to me how the hell they are complete opposites??!!?? Nature vs. Nuture:
Shawn sleeps all night, Ethan abides by the "sleeping optional" policy.
Shawn is a gentle and sweet cuddler, Ethan is an english soccer hooligan who will head butt and grab your face until it bleeds - not out of anger or malice, he is just a brute.
Ethan is quite possibly the happiest baby on the planet; Shawn has a bit (understatement of the year) of an anger management issue - we will call it a temper.
Ethan has separation anxiety, Shawn can talk to himself all day and night
Shawn wakes up at 7am, Ethan - 430am
Ethan will lay his arm over Shawn when he is crying - Shawn will stare at Ethan if he screams in pain or anger.
Shawn has cut 5 teeth in the last few weeks with very little fuss, Ethan appears to be cutting his first tooth and you would think he broke his arm
Ethan has to have the shiny object he sees 3 feet in front of him - he will roll, scoot, shimmy, pull blankets to get to that object, Shawn may want the object, but if it does not come to him, he finds ways to move on.
Ethan flinches at the slightest sound, Shawn thinks every noise is fascinating.
Ethan loves formula, Shawn refuses anything but breastmilk
Ethan is a Cardinals fan, Shawn is a Jets fan - what are you gonna do?
