This post is just a continuation of the last one. I don't know how many parents have this same feeling--first kid is always the most obedient, and the latter are getting more and more sophisticated(not sure this is the right word to use here). Little Timmy can be taken as a very good example. My friend keeps saying that he is very different, mastering basic skills of walking, eating, talking much ealier than the other two, and also, at this younger age, he can make everyone listen to him. I, myself, am the second one in my family, and long ago i began to realize the same thing. My younger sister is very smart, and very good at social. She basically did everything all by herself, regarding borrowing stuff from other kids or families. But me and my older sister, don't know how to get along with different people. My elder sister, is the one who works hardest in three of us, but didn't really get paid back so well. Now, after Peter began to really crawl only for a week or so, he is already everywhere all over places and it already happened several times that he took Yaya's stuff away or Yaya was unable to get away from him. Also, he is really up to adventures, daring to pull himself up with trial and error, walking around while holding on to something, staying tough wheneven he falls... Yaya began to walk when she was ten-month-old, but she never dared to go anywhere without making sure mommy or daddy was around. Also, she cried a lot. She never dared to grab other's stuff, even now...And she is definitely a very good listener. It is funny if you really think of this and ask why....
