It is amazing to me how very different Doug and Andy are. I know that they are no more alike than two siblings, but still you would think they might have a little more in common. My mom would say "It's not their fault they were born at the same time."
Anyway, Andy is such a daredevil...he has no fear. It was nice today so we ate lunch out on the deck after church. Andy wanted to look over the edge, reach out to trees, etc.
Doug is definitely more cautious. All along the way he has been more cautious. He crawled, walked, etc. later than Andy because he was just more cautious about trying new things.
I am afraid that this comes from my side. We were walking out from going to the store and the path that we took to get to the car took us over a drainage grate in the parking lot. Doug would not walk across it and kept saying "I fall, I fall." Even when he was past it he was still looking back and saying "I fall." I am afraid that I know from experience that he is in for many years of having his heart stand still when walking up those metal mesh/open stairs. Even now I still find it a bit unnerving.

i find this true with my girls too. although like you said, they are only like any other siblings, b/c they are the same age and so close you would think they would a little more alike. :) my girls are very much alike with certain things, and almost mimic one another in situations without even knowing it. but other times they are as diff as night & day. Brooke is more reserved with physical action, more cautious like me, and Lauren is Ms. Daredevil to the extreme ~ like her dad & brother. ;) Brooke once in a while has a wild side and lets loose, but then is quickly brought back to Brooke Land by some crazy stunt the other two are pulling and she is nervous to do. Such as jumping off the couch, running down the length of the couch and jumping straight off. I'm not happy about this. But Lauren and Trevor have no problem just running and jumping... they laugh the entire time, Brooke is more reserved, and will maybe sit and then jump or look to hold someones hand before she takes the plunge. I love to see how they are all the same in ways but so unique in others.
have a great day.
hugs, jenn
