A few weeks ago we went to see a skateboarding demonstration downtown. The boy was on one side of me and the girl was on the other. The girl pulled my arm and in shock said, "NONE of them are wearing helmets." While the boy said, "Man, I wish dad had let me bring my scooter! I'd be out there showing them a thing or two!" Which, incidentally, is why he wasn't allowed to bring his scooter.

Its Like Night and Day
Before the boy started kindergarten I asked Madison's old teacher if she thought we should put him in or wait a year (his birthday is in August so we weren't really sure what to do.) She said, "Well, if he is ANYTHING like his sister put him in-- he'll be just fine!" I laughed and I put him in kindergarten (in her class). Not long after school started she came up to me and said, "You know, he's not very much like his sister." Nope. He's not.

The girl has a lot of stress. The boy causes it. They are actually a lot alike.
I love his "I'd show them a thing or two!" Your kids support the "nature" side of the nature vs nurture arguement. Similar upbringing...Very different personalities. Both awesome! (That is the nurture part)
I love your kids. They are awesome, both the light side and the dark side of them.
But, really, when are two siblings ever really very much alike? I mean, it happens, but I think it's much more common that siblings (especially siblings that are beside each other in family order) are very different. Each has to find her own identity in the family, which drives siblings to be different.
