It's amazing to me to see that my children have such different personalities. I think this helps me to remember that I did not create them-they have been sent to me by a loving Heavenly Father who loves them-and me-so much. It's my job to guide them through this life--what an incredible task!
Michael the little drummer boy... He loves to grab our Rock Band drum sticks and pound away on the fireplace, the ground, his sisters heads...whatever's nearby! If I really need five minutes of peace, I just have to set him in front of the girl's bookshelf. He LOVES ripping every single book out and throwing it on the floor! He is a really happy baby and delights everyone in the family with his great belly laugh and constant smiles. 
Paige is our most meticulous child. Last night, when she was sitting at the table until she finished her dinner, she decided instead to organize her fishies around her plate. (and no, she never did eat that dinner!) She likes to take her time and do things right and likes everything to be organized. She is also very agreeable and likes to make people happy. Her preschool teachers adore her and say that she is such a good friend to the other children. When things aren't going her way and she's tired, though, she can make some noise! She also can't seem to resist squishing her little brother...
Ashley is definitely the firstborn! She loves to be in charge and likes being the best and the fastest whenever possible. She loves being my helper and doing things like mopping, dusting, and cooking. She is doing great in kindergarten and when she wants to, can read lots of words and small stories. After a few months of seeing what her classmates go to school wearing, I have finally given in and am letting her choose her own outfits for school. Our good friends just gave us a huge box of hand-me-downs and she has loved being able to create fancy outfits, like the one pictured. It is actually two outfits in one--a purple sweatsuit and a purple princess gaucho/t-shirt combo. We have talked quite a bit about matching and now she is convinced that it must be all the same color. She went to school in all black and all red last week as well.
