It's funny, out of all our kids DH & I both think DS1 is most like each of us
I think he's like me because he's over-sensitive, a worrier and very caring. He's a clown, he's cheeky - a bit too much sometimes, he's yet to learn where to draw the line - and he can be horribly sulky. He is a pleaser - I worry that he will go out of his way for others at his own expense.
DD1 is on the surface much more confident in herself than I am / was. She's generally a bit stronger in herself than DS1. She can come across as uncaring but she' not really - she just doesn't express - and is a bit more selfish than DS1.
She has a wicked temper (which I can also but I need more provocation than her). I am a huge one for talking out my feelings & she is very private like that, we talked about that just the other day she tends to bottle things up.
DS2 is very independant & has been since he was a baby. He has always wanted to do things his way, and now that he's older he will argue with us over the silliest things. I think we are going to have a hellish time with him when he's a teenager. He's just very set in his opinion & ideas. He is more like DD1 in his strength. He won't do anything he doesn't want to (generally, that is) - he's not a pleaser like DS1. He can be a bit sneaky, and he is very affectionate (actually both boys are ).
DD2 is only 7 months but we are starting to see her personality peek through She has a temper! She also seems quite strong willed & if she wants something, she wants it 10 minutes ago. She rarely cries but when she does she goes from 0 to 100 in under 30 seconds, lol.
It always spins me out, I LOVE seeing my kids individual personalities grow When I was pregnant with DS2 & DD2 in particular we wondered what kind of person they would be - it's so hard to imagine until they are here! It is the most lovely surprise
Dudie - is extremly mature...not outspoken but not quiet. Comfortable in his own skin but wont tell me if something is wrong. LIkes his own space and can be a snooty little shiat (lile his father)
Loves building things from scratch, fantastic at math's and thinks beyond his years
Mario - you'd think having autism would make him quiet..NO WAY!!!!! He's not shy, extremly funny (fart jokes are all the rage atm) and caring yet when he's had enough..god help the person in his way (has his mothers temper )
Mini Me - well the name says it all. He is a bit withdrawn from people when she first meets them and has some anxiety issue. She'll let you know if she's not happy, hates people invading her space and touching her. Very loving and affectionate. Extemely indepandant and helpful
Tank - quiet and sly , he is sneaky and gives you his big baby blues and then when you turn your back he's off into something. He can be so placid and loving and the headbutt you if your not giving him enough loving back.
Its nice not having them all the same....difference personalities make life interesting and fun...even when you sound like a fishwife cause you have to yell over the caos.
Fiona, I was actually just thinking about this today. DD is only 5 months old and her little personality is just starting to shine. Where DS was more quiet, serious and liked to be left alone, on the floor, to watch the action from afar; DD is more social and giggly, and thrives on cuddles, and is so tactile- she wants to touch everyone, and snuggle in. It's fascinating to see how different they are.
