I always heard people talk about how different their children were personality wise even at a young age, but it's sometimes hard to see in my kids. They have some very like personality traits (Justin just shows his traits a bit stronger than Katelynn did at the same age- in stubborness at least... and we thought she was stubborn- ha!). There is one significant difference I have seen from early on though and that is their difference in water. My kids are destined to love the water. They have been boating since they were both under a year old. Jonathan and I love being on the water, and I'm sure they will too, but Katelynn has always been the more cautious one with water. She doesn't want it in her eyes or her ears. She loves to play in it and swim, but forget dunking her and pouring water over her face. Justin on the other hand could careless. He goes crazy in the water (which is precisely why I have so little bath pictures of him because he's way too dangerous in the tub to actually pick up a camera). The one challenge is he splashes and makes water fly everywhere, and Katelynn gets upset everytime she gets hit in the face with a drop of water. It makes bathtime interesting sometimes. Ever since he learned to pull up on things, I have been unable to take my hands off him in the tub as he has refused to sit down since that day. Finally tonight he actually sat down to play and splash (as opposed to bending down while standing to splash) so I took advantage of it and grabbed the camera.
He gets his entire head soaked for me before I even attempt to shampoo his head!
