Now that I have two kids, I am noticing the differences in each of them. There are so many traits of Aspen that I didn't really notice until I had Journey to compare to and vice-versa. There are so many things I love about each of them.
Aspen
- He is so loving and affectionate. Rarely does a day go by that he doesn't tell me how pretty I am.
- He is all boy. Camo is his favorite thing to wear. He loves to wrestle and rough house. He LOVES to burn things and make fires.
- Aspen loves to help me in the kitchen, do the laundry and do his "job" (putting the silverware away).
- He has a great memory. Whether it is memorizing scripture or events, I am always amazed at his memory. Just the other day we were driving past a vet's office that Mark and Aspen took our cat to over a year ago (while he was 2 1/2 years old). He pointed it out and recited the whole story in detail of what happened when they took the cat in. Including how the cat got a shot, how the cat was trying to get away, what daddy said, etc. It was the only time Aspen had ever been there and we hadn't talked about it since it happened. It blew me away!
- Okay, I don't necessarily love having a super picky boy, but it doesn't really bug me too much either. Although it is pretty weird at Thanksgiving dinner when everyone is eating this amazing dinner and he is eating a PB&J sandwich (happened last two years in a row). So that I can remember later, here is what he will eat:
oatmeal, berries, waffles, pancakes, french toast, cheese sandwich, PB&J sandwich, mac & cheese, pasta w/ butter & Parmesan, kiwi, string cheese, yogurt, granola, cereal, milk, crackers, nuts, chips and of course, pretty much all sweets.
Journey
- All the adorable outfits, bows and headbands! Everyday is like dress-up. Journey has only worn pants a handful of times. The dresses are too cute!
- She is not a picky eater at all! I can't think of anything she has tasted that she spit out or even really made a bad face at. I was so worried that I would have to make 3 different things at each meal.
- Journey is a mama's girl all the way. I love that she always wants me over anyone.
- She does so good in restaurants. Even at this age, Aspen was too active to sit in a restaurant without squirming, throwing everything within reach on the floor and squealing.
- No one can make Journey laugh like Aspen. She loves him so much. She especially loves to touch his hair in the morning when it is huge and sticking up everywhere.
- Journey is not as busy and loud as Aspen. This is good because Aspen is soooo high energy and I'm not sure I could keep up with two crazy, loud kids!
- Did I mention just how cute the dresses are?
