Wild child

IDo you ever look at your children and think "thank God (insert child's name here) is the easy one? It's not that I don't love both my children equally.. I do! They both hold a special place my heart and are treasured equally in different ways. But my little boy who is now 2 can push my buttons like no other. He is a ball of energy and very high spirited. He doesn't slowly wind down.. he doesn't just have a bath than drift off to sleep. He's either full throttle or passed out on my rug.. there is no in between for him.

. he breaks ornaments, throws everything and anything, climbs and sits on my kitchen table while I'm in the potty, sits on his sister and yells 24/7. He takes up every once of energy and sanity I have because he is lots and lots of work and has to be watchhed every second for his own safety and his sisters.. lol but with all that being said he is the sweetest, cuddliest and is so much fun from his crazy dance moves to his wild imagination. But I can't help thinking how life would be if my daughter was also a high need child like him... and honestly I don't think I could handle it.. she can be fussy but nothing in campairison to him... my son runs and screams so loud constantly he has since the day he was born. When he was a baby we were actually scared to take him in public cause his hungry baby cry was like a dinosaur screech and would literally hurt your ears... as in my daughter would cry so whitely we could barely hear her over her brother she has always been a calm and peaceful spirit. But when the difference between them is most noticeable is bed time... with My son he needs a snack, milk, and cuddles till he falls asleep then you can move him from wherever he's crashed into his bed. So with my daughter on the other hand you just give her her nighttime bottle, put her in her crib with blanket , turn on her white noise machine and walk out.... she's down and out all on her own within 10 min.

And the most peaceful little sleeper I've ever seen.. sometimes I think I would chop off my left arm if my son would sleep as well as her... so as much as I love them both. I'm so thankful God has at least given me one easy going child instead of two raging terrors.. and on that note my son is jumping on my bed while yelling "sleep... wish me luck!!
