I always think it’s funny to see how differently my children react to getting hurt.

When my oldest gets a little bruise he’s ready to go to the hospital, no exageration, until he finally does something, forgetting he’s hurt and realizes he’s ok. Either that, or  he has a high percentage of miraculous healings.

My middle son (7 years) seems to have the ability to bounce. Last night at Tae Kwon Do (At Holmes TKDo and Martial Arts Center) they were doing laps and he tripped, landed on his knees and bounced along, got a bandaid for his skinned knee and jumped right into the laps again.

This is also my son who wanted absolutely no help in learning to ride his bike. In fact when I tried to help he just yelled that I made him fall. So, Mr. Independant would ride a couple feet, fall, hop back on and try again for a couple hours until he was finally riding. The neighbors and I watched him keep trying from the windows.

My daughter (4 years) can go either way, depending on how much attention she wants. If she’s busy playing, she’ll just continue on. But when she wants sympathy she know how to use those big eyes and get all she needs.

It’s amazing how different they are. Guess God wanted to keep me on my toes.
