My two children are very different from one another. Boy and girl. Three and Five. They should be different, I know this. I didn't expect to be so surprised by their differences.
In just one brief moment, captured on film, you can see these differences.
A moment of play.
Ava was quietly gathering flowers. Adults and children moving around her. She had her own purpose, her own game.
Carefully taking the flowers apart...In just one brief moment, captured on film, you can see these differences.

In the same moment you could watch Cyrus....
blocking his uncle and cousin's golf balls with his own putter...
Climbing walls...
Throwing rocks into the decorative grasses....
And of course, taking a moment to deconstruct his sister's water castle....
I can't help but wonder how this newest little one is going to fit into the balance. Who will this person be? I was shocked to see how different the first two are, so I can only guess I'll be shocked again.
Here's to capturing a single moment in life. And anticipating the future.

These are all such sweet photos. You made me smile and I am reminded of my own children. Yes, they are all so very different : )
This surprises me too...and gets the juices flowing thinking about the whole *nature vs nurture* debate. I couldn't imagine going that third round...how exciting for you.
ps hope you are on the mend.
Beautiful pictures. Our children really are all so different and how interesting and beautiful this is. We have 4 boys. The older 3 are so different from each other and it will be wonderful watching to see how our newborn's personality unfolds too. Each child is so different and unique without even the boy/girl thing coming into it. All such blessings!
