Personalities

It’s so fun to see how different my boys are.  Their personalities are on opposite spectrums and I love that.  Mac, for the most part, is my little pleaser.  Obviously, he’s not perfect and has his obstinate times when he’s not happy, but over all, he wants to make us happy.  Patrick wants to do the opposite of what we want.  All the time.  Every morning is a fight to dress him.  He absolutely does not want to wear what I tell him.  And I try very hard to give options!    I mean with Mac, I made sure he matched anytime we had to leave the house.  With Patrick, I’m down to just making sure if it’s cold, he’s in pants and long sleeves; if it’s warm, he’s not in sweatpants!  And he still fights me. Anyway, so different.  So great.

Yep, that's him. Yellow shirt, Illini shorts and snow boots.

Today is the perfect example.  The three of us were watching the Cubs game.  Mac says, “Go Cubs! Mom and I are going for the Cubs.”  Patrick’s response, “Well, I’m not.  I’m going for the blue shirt guys.”
