The First Born: Est. 2005
Until we had The Second Born, GB was know as “The Boy”. Now the boy seems to answer to “calm down”, “get off your brother”, and “crazy monkey”. Birth order plays a big part in his nature, but one day he will blame it all on me while paying an hourly rate for therapy. Like his mama, the boy is a little hummingbird on crack that can not sit longer than 28 seconds or the amount of time it take to use the bathroom. This kid is sharp as a whip, stubborn, and hilarious. Possible career choices for this one are Stand Up Comic or Lit Professor.
The Second Born: Est. 2006
AKA The Babe or “careful….”. I used to tell the first born to be careful as he cautiously tried something new. Now I tell the second born to be careful as he jumps with eyes wide open without a thought prior. Fortunately for all of us, this one is not only a physical carbon copy of dad, his personality is just as laid back. The Babe is a charmer that has rarely seen the naughty chair due to his inate ability to win me over with eyes as blue as the sky. This is one tough kid too; as wide as he is tall, he tends to leave brother in tears due to retaliation. Possible careers for this one are Politician or Professional Football Player.
This attempt at finding the ever elusive balance in life is brought to you by some of the best people I have ever met; and some others I am just lucky keep me around for entertainment. Friends truly are the family you choose for yourself and based on what I got stuck with for blood; I am a lucky lady to have such a great extended family.
