Tale of Two Balloons

The difference between siblings is astonishing. Two children raised in the same home by the same parents and the same set of rules could not be any more opposite. If you are one of many children, or are also a parent to more than one, you have experienced this phenomenon.

Here's the set up. Our children received a lovely mylar helium balloon from the concierge of a hotel we stayed in last weekend. Watch the video. Pay close attention to what Avery is doing with his balloon and what Mary Hannah is doing with hers. Amazing differences. Amazing.

Be very careful if you choose to buy a pet. Make it a very big and strong one. She bears no malice, just enjoys the dismantling! I agree that Avery will make a very good museum curator...or he could handle nitroglycerin. Yes, amazing differences!

She is awesome, I love her carefree attitude. I love how caring and gentle Avery is being with his ballon. To me MH is showing that she knows things don't last so why not have fun with it while you can. Very cute. She made me laugh.
