DS however, was always a mover and loved to be active. He also adapts to situations quickly and isn't very shy around other kids.</p> <p>DD is happy just being held and talked to - she's not as active as her brother was and seems more chill. She also loves to sleep way more than her brother ever did! (Thankfully!) We'll see how her personality develops as she gets older. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-were-your-kids-different-similar#post-2189446 Tue, 26 May 2015 12:28:18 +0000 Andrea 2189446@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>They are more similar than dissimilar so far! So there's a fair amount of fighting, probably for that reason, but they also love each other lots. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-were-your-kids-different-similar#post-2189427 Tue, 26 May 2015 12:15:49 +0000 kodybear 2189427@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>their temperaments are really similar. they are/were both calm easy babies, good eaters and good sleepers. their personalities are pretty opposite though. she is sensitive, cautious, observant.. he is super active, social, adventurous. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-were-your-kids-different-similar#post-2189401 Tue, 26 May 2015 11:54:26 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 2189401@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>#2 was an easier baby than #1-- but #1 had mspi that went undiagnosed for a long time.</p> <p>As toddlers they are very similar-- strong willed and independent. I'd say #2 is a little more easy going. But when she does get upset, watch out!</p> <p>#3 is currently a big lump of eating, sleeping and smiling so can't say too much yet! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-were-your-kids-different-similar#post-2189395 Tue, 26 May 2015 11:52:33 +0000 oliviaoblivia 2189395@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>They are eerily similar. Except DD2 has a 4am feed still which isn't my favourite.<br /> Overall they are both happy, healthy, silly, sleepy, and chill. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-were-your-kids-different-similar#post-2189384 Tue, 26 May 2015 11:50:03 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 2189384@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lamariniere: ok your kids sound identical to mine in every way! my oldest was high needs infant, easy toddler/preschooler.. cautious, harder time playing alone, etc. my youngest was an easy angel baby, but a very active and fearless toddler yet super independent.</p> <p>@mrsjyw: my kids are polar opposites! but they somehow mesh really well and get along great! they even have opposite food preferences! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-were-your-kids-different-similar#post-2189336 Tue, 26 May 2015 11:19:11 +0000 Mama Bird 2189336@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a feeling mine will be completely different. I'll have to learn all the tricks for getting this kid to eat and sleep from scratch, and as for keeping the two of them happy at the same time... I'm scared. I'll have to be a really good negotiator! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-were-your-kids-different-similar#post-2189311 Tue, 26 May 2015 11:06:21 +0000 Caly 2189311@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Everything about my twins are opposite so far. Their likes, dislikes, looks, temperament, etc, all opposite! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-were-your-kids-different-similar#post-2189297 Tue, 26 May 2015 11:01:00 +0000 yellowbird 2189297@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My kids are polar opposites!</p> <p>Dd: awake constantly from day 1, would never nap, very intense, colicky, hated being worn.</p> <p>Ds: sleepy, calm, easy to put down drowsy but awake, takes 2-3 hour naps, smiley, loves being worn.</p> <p>Ds is only 7 weeks so I'm sure more things will come about as he gets older </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-were-your-kids-different-similar#post-2189289 Tue, 26 May 2015 10:55:18 +0000 lamariniere 2189289@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@creativemomma15: it sounds like we have the same LOs!</p> <p>DS: high needs infant, easy toddler, amazing focus/concentration, very cautious with physical things like climbing and jumping. Has a hard time playing alone unless "reading" books. </p> <p>DD: easiest infant ever, has become a challenging toddler, not as much attention span, much more fearless with physical aspects. Can play alone. </p> <p>They also don't look much alike at all! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-were-your-kids-different-similar#post-2189277 Tue, 26 May 2015 10:50:13 +0000 creativemomma15 2189277@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS was a high needs baby and DD was so relaxed in comparison! DS is very active, determined and can be strong willed. He is inquisitive about everything and how things work. DD is still more relaxed but can have major mommy attachment, even when grandmas are around! She is a climber, DS never was, and when she has a chance to play by herself she plays so much nicer than DS did at this age! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-were-your-kids-different-similar#post-2189265 Tue, 26 May 2015 10:40:40 +0000 mrsjyw 2189265@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just having the usual wanderings of parenting two kids, as I anticipate the arrival of DS2 in July :) </p>
