I have decided that children who are the third child in the family have a naturally strong survival instinct. I have seen Jo scavenge snack food that the boys drop. She helps herself off of every plate that is within reach (and boy her arms seem amazingly long for her size). Somehow she has convinced her brothers to share food with her without using any words because they are always terribly concerned about sharing or getting her food. Tonight she climbed up, on her own, onto Doug's chair and grazed off his plate. A couple weeks ago she walked up to Andy, grabbed his poptart, turned around and ran the other direction.

Yeah, that sounds about right. If you don't want to wait for Mom to get it for you, you have to get it yourself. William was definitly eating "real" food earlier, and climbing on chairs to help himself, much sooner than the other two.
i totally agree. lol my twins are second and third children and they definitely figure things out a lot faster about survival. lol
i think this is also b/c i'm way more relaxed with them then i was with my first. but that could just be me. :)
