My baby knows Calculus....

Well I'm about as good at keeping up with this blog as I am with having boys...I suck at it!

I've never been much of a "baby comparer" but especially now that I have two, one minute apart, the whole competitive nature of parents to do this just baffles me even more. I'm reminded every day that each baby is very different. I have one who is perfectly content playing with a piece of carpet for 20 minutes and another who crawls around the house completing her job as a Babyproof Inspector. I didn't have two babies on purpose to try to get a better chance of one of them doing something before somebody else's baby. When I gave birth to my children I didn't realize I automatically entered myself into a contest to see if they would crawl before others their age, get teeth first, or weigh more or less than others. Had I known that I would have kept the twin pregnancy a secret. I would have just told everybody about one of them and kept the other as a stand in as needed when the competition got tough. "Carlos...meet me at Chick-Fil-A and bring the baby with four teeth."

I do think it is great that people are proud of their kids for reaching certain milestones, or that their 5 day old knows sign language, but that doesn't need to involve a comparison to my kids. Because afterall, my kids are the best out there and there really is no comparison. :)
