My nephew is very active...I just figured he was typical boy!<br /><br />Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15283395756742923658noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2949422246633548404.post-26089997488578570772013-08-08T21:45:45.541+04:002013-08-08T21:45:45.541+04:00I get the feeling that David is a pretty high-main...I get the feeling that David is a pretty high-maintenance baby. It has been a support to hear about him because otherwise I think I might have viewed Monica as high-maintenance. Comparatively, she's easy (or that's the impression I get!)<br /><br />Aidan and Lydia were EASY! (Wish I had the ability to highlight and underline. They were EASY!) Aidan, for example couldn't start kindergarten until he was 6 because he still took two naps a day. Monica is on one.....short one, usually.... A & L never climbed, never explored all that much, were very risk-adverse and seemed to have a second sense about what was risk and what wasn't. They never heaved themselves around in a way to almost make me drop them. Never grabbed at hot coffee with two strong arms at once.... <br /><br />At David's age I could set Aidan down on the ground and hand him a fine art book (a coffee table type book) and he'd look at it calmly, never moving for half an hour or more. Really. My friends were envious. Even I recognized how lucky I was.....<br /><br />They were easy. Monica is probably normal, and David is a go-getter. Give yourself a pat on the back! (Isn't it frustrating, though, not to be able to get anything DONE????)Anniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12623179886908222942noreply@blogger.com
