Differences

Of course each of my children are different, this I know.
For Example:
Scott will eat his sandwich first and leave his fruit for the very last, not even to eat it but to throw it in the trash.

Hannah always begins with her fruit first, because she will always opt to eat it for her snack.

I have always seen the differences in my kiddos but I thought it was interesting to hear yet another difference.

When talking about going to friends' houses Scott would prefer to leave our house and visit someone elses.
Hannah on the other hand, well she would just like to stay home and have a friend come to her place.
This is making for an interesting summer here.
Hannah is doing alot of things that she has not done before like leaving for Summer Camp for 4 days and of course traveling by herself to visit our family in WA she will be gone for almost 2 weeks.
Scott came to me the other day and said "This is the most boring Summer ever! I haven't gone anywhere (I guess Summer Camp for 5 days and Yosemite for 4 days is nothing) all I have been doing is 8 pages of math a day and only getting a half hour on the computer each day and going to bed at 9 o'clock!"
Now as I type this out each child is experiencing something different today,
Scott is enjoying himself out at Zuma beach with his "peeps" and some very (hopefully) responsible youth leaders.
Hannah is at a friends house where the Mom of her friend would like to keep her until Sunday! YIKES!! Jason and I keep laughing, this is not a typical sleepover and she will for sure be coming home on Saturday morning.
I'm sure she is having a good time being out of her house, but she would prefer to have her friend here and Scott is going to come home and be happy for one day that he got to go out and do "nothing" as he will remember it.
