We're discovering more and more that our kids are very much like us. We've found that Danya is an extroverted version of me, while Shea is an introverted version of Corey. How so? Danya is very logical, black and white, has a strong sense of justice (because of this strong sense of justice, she, like her daddy, argues with and corrects people.... a lot), and chews her nails (unfortunately both of her parents are fidgety). She often tells us we have to read her the bible at night because "It's important." We've had to explain to her WHY it's important, and that it is NOT because God will love us more or that God demands us to read. Danya could easily be a legalist, and will have to harness her powers for good.
Shea, on the other hand, is emotional and compassionate, relational (her toys, silverware, crayons, whatever, are always talking to each other), and focused. Like her mommy, if she is watching TV, or doing anything requiring a bit of focus, she completely tunes out the world. As an example of Shea's compassion, when she was 2 1/2, she came out during a movie where one of the main characters was crying. Shea looked at it, looked at us and, with tears, said "why is she crying?". Poor kid...
It'll be interesting, and scary, to see what Cooper is like....
