Differences

I have to blog about the differences in my kids. Sometimes I can't even believe it myself. I mean they were raised in the same house buy oh my they are different.

First we have Sarah. As a baby she was totally a daddy's girl. She did not like me and it used to upset me to the point that I would cry sometimes. In fact, when she was 3 (and we were still married) I always gave her a bath, put lotion on her and did her hair. I was getting her out of the tub one night and she looked at me square in the eye and said "do you know I love daddy better than you?" I was so upset. Of course, he thought it was funny. I didn't! The reason she loved him more was because he always gave her - her way. She was not a cuddly baby either not even with her daddy. As time went on after the divorce she has totally become a momma's girl. She is very close to me now and for that I am thankful! She is a little more on the shy side when it comes to people she don't know. After she knows you she is really pretty funny. She always wants to be the best at whatever she does and strives for perfection.

Then we have Marco. Marco was the perfect baby. He never cried and pretty much went to sleep when you put him to bed. He got to be around 2 1/2 and whoa he came out of his shell. He got into everything and was very mischieveous. If he was quiet you had to look for him because I guarantee you he is taking apart something LOL. He is spiteful too! Always a momma' boy and still is. Marco really works hard to get good grades. He has to work harder than Dom or Sarah. He has a huge heart and is very loving. Oh but he is Mr. Funny. The kid will make you laugh until you cry.

Now Dom. Dom was a perfect baby too. My first born. Has a great personality. I read to him constantly. He was so smart and did everything early. Walked at 9 months and was talking full sentences by the time he was 1 1/2. He is funny and loving. Since he was my first, we were very close because I didn't work and he was the sunshine in my life. I played with him like I was a kid myself. He was kinda both a daddy's boy and momma's boy. He was full of energy. I swear that kid could climb anything. If I told him no he still did it. Just very headstrong.

The reason I am sharing this with you is because last night we sat around the kitchen table and put stickers on mardi gra beads for Marco to take to school today for the elections. Dom ran every year in high school and won but the difference is I never helped him because he would not allow me to. Marco will take the help but does not want me around at school for anything. Last night I dropped him off at the school for practice and Colleen and I were gonna walk the track at the school. Marco was pissed he was like "mom you can't do that". Marco yes I can and we are going to. We did but he was so embarrassed. Now my Sarah the one who did not like me LOL she always wants me at school with her. She will come running up to me "hi mommy". She is the only one that calls me mommy. So it sure has changed! It is just so funny to me.

Dom was kinda teasing Marco last night about his beads. I took him aside and said don't you tease him he is trying his best to be like you. Dom rolled his eyes and said OMG mom stop it. Boys are so funny with their emotions. Dom acts like he can't stand Marco but when Marco is hurt he is the first one there. Marco is the same way with Dom. It is always so competitive with boys. Sarah has nobody to compete with so she is just herself LOL.

Last night Dom's friend Danny came over and had dinner with us. The two of them are always together constantly. Danny is going away to school at Western and Dom is staying home. So I asked them last night what are you guys gonna do without each other. You know boys LOL. They were like oh we won't miss each other. LOL They went out last night and did some saran wrapping on the cars of the people that did it to Dom. I was laughing.

I hope everyone has a good day today!
