Birth Order

I have my theories about birth order as it pertains to certain personality traits. It's never more evident than when Lucy and Isabel come over on Thursday afternoon. All four kids play well for about 20 minutes but then quickly break into their groups.

Exhibit A

I found Isabel and Max in his room completely entertained making "suckers" out of nerf darts and plastic balls. These two totally get each other. I love hearing Isabel asking Max if he needs to go potty every 5 seconds.

Exhibit B

The first born of both family seem to have quite a bit in common as well. I don't want to call them high maintenance but well, they are. They have a blast together.

First born children rule! Ha ha jk Max smiling ear-to-ear is too much for me to handle.

So, do you fit with the Max and Isabelle club? :)

I have a friend who married her husband mainly based on birth order.. well not mainly.. but it was a contributing factor.

Also the small child in me wanted to hang out with Hank and Lucy, as I love order and rules and being high maintenance

Oh my! Can you tell I haven't been on my computer since yesterday afternoon? Slacker.

I know we've talked about this a lot...but, you are so incredibly right. My question for you now is, where does one like me fit? Probably the category titled, "best" or something.

First borns are responsible, hard-working, and intelligent. They also are great role-models to the younger siblings. We've earned the right to be high maintenance! :) Cute pictures!

That's cute, suckers with nerf dart wow what a clever idea. Hope the potty training thing comes along better for you soon. that is so frustrating and I don't know how much advise I can give I've done 3 now and each one was different and a nightmare in their own areas but I am kindof mean and I made them wash out their own underwear mess and sometimes they had to wash off in a lukewarm shower which they hated and it seemed to work, good luck!
