The Same...Yet Different!!

Sometimes, it just baffles me that my girls are cut from the same cloth so to speak, but yet they are so different. I'm not saying that I would want them both to be the same person, have the same personalities, interest, goals...but sometimes I just have to sit back and laugh at how opposite they are. Its funny how one resembles each of us parents more than the other does...

Emalee for one, she definitely falls into the oldest child description. She's responsible, smart, over achiever, controlling, leader, uptight, too sensitive at times and perfectionist at most things. She holds on to her feelings and gets hurt easily. She takes more after her dad (after all they both are Aries) in a lot of ways, they are shy and more introverted, homebodies if you will. They are very short tempered, they both don't let things go easily. Very hard headed, but witty. One thing she got blessed with is she has his metabolism, those to can eat and eat and sometimes I don't understand where they hold it all. Lucky them lol.

Olivia on the other hand is alot like me. We're the extroverted type, outgoing, needs to always be out and about. We both don't hold on to feelings, more like brush the negative off and keep on truckin' lol. She's very carefree, laidback, go with the flow type girl. Though, like both Fernando and me, they both have that caring about others trait. We tend to take care of others before ourselves. One thing which I've been noticing alot recently that I'm sad that Oli got from me is the bad case of allergies. That's one thing I wish I could wave a magic wand and get rid of, to see her suffer breaks my heart. She has my slow like metabolism. We hold on to what we eat and are more "rounded" so to speak. I know she'll have to struggle like I've struggled my entire life and I want it to be easier for her.

The girls bump heads so much, it drives me insane at times. Emalee goes crazy because Olivia doesn't let her control her or mold her into a mini Emalee lol. Though, Olivia does look up to her big sister, she is still her own person and I hope it remains that way. As much as I want to go and hide when they get into their little tiffs, I think about how will they be as they get older. I can only hope that they can be close and help eachother out through the journey we call Life.
