Similarities

I have noticed over the past 4 years, how much younger siblings pick up from their older siblings. Myself growing up the third child of four assume I learned a lot from my older brothers. I can sit and watch Kylie, and see many of Mackenzie's characteristics in how she does certain things, and I know its just from watching Mackenzie do it, or having Mackenzie show her.
similarities
The past few weeks Mackenzie has had to memorize a poem for class for a grade. Her teacher will have them do this all year, so the kids at an early age will get more confident standing in front of a group and speaking, and to also work on memorization. I think it's great that she is starting it so early. We have worked on the poem in the evenings and Mackenzie had it memorized fairly quickly. I did not realize how much Kylie was paying attention to what we were doing. Yesterday, Wednesday, Kylie started reciting the poem that Mackenzie has had to memorize, and said it word for word, including the title and author where they were to be spoken. She was so proud of herself and she should be. She even went and said it to her teacher today.

I have even started noticing Gabryle pick up little things from the girls. He will go to their room and then come out with a barbie, or one of the girls ponies and a hairbrush and climb up on the sofa and sit and brush their hair, or if one of the girls brings a book and sits in the living room he will do that same. He'll even bring books and look at them when they don't. Even though they do a lot of things alike, they still are three completely different personalities. It will be interesting to see how much more they grow as individuals as they get older.

Till Next Time!!
