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
