Those of you with preschoolers or kindergarteners are probably familiar with the little poem entitled, "Brown Bear, Brown Bear what do you see?" Then it goes on forever through all the colorful animals and what they see.
So- In the car yesterday Anna starts singing this song and she is going back and forth with Hayden taking turns doing the different animals when she starts singing "Stinky Fish Stinky Fish what do you see? I see a Stinky Mommy Looking at Me!"
To that Hayden responses, "Beautiful Earth Beautiful Earth what do you see? I see beautiful mountains looking at me!"
Hence: one who appreciates trying to make people laugh (or mad) and one who appreciate the world around him. I was laughing at the difference in my kids. I am learning how to parents such different personalities. I kind of have Hayden figured out up to this point (it's because he is so much like me) but Anna is a complete mystery to me. It's because she is just like Tracy and I have not figured him out yet after 10 years of marriage

That's hilarious! The world of parenting 2 children is shaping up to COMPLETELY different than parenting 1...and Alice is only 6 months old. I'm sure it's going to just get more interesting.
P.S. I can't believe you guys have been married for 10 years. Wow. Time flies!
Kristin, you are an awesome mom. And if you think you haven't figured out Tracy after 10 years of marriage, try to be me, and not figure Boyd out after 25 years of marriage. Each day I learn a little bit more, but since my memory is a bit short, I forget them almost as soon as I learn them!!
If it makes you feel better, I know I haven't and I doubt mom and dad ever figured out Tracy. Crazy kid! Your kids really are kind of opposites, and still so entertaining. :)
Love the differences! It's double that at our house! Wow...ten years! You guys are old!
