It's All In the Details

It never ceases to amaze me how different the twins are. The pediatrician forewarned me of the differences in personality between a boy and girl and we've enjoyed seeing that he was so right. Now that the twins are in school, we're seeing those differences more and more. The fundamental difference? It's all in the details...

Here is Marshall's entry into his Memory Book at school today. He'll explain what took place in Mrs. Lawson's classroom:
Footprints
We found a print on Mrs. Lawson's rug. The doorbell rang. Mrs. Lawson discovered that nobody was there. It was her dog, Maggie. Mrs. Lawson made her footprint. It matched the footprint on her rug.
(short sweet and to the point)

And here is Shaylen's:
Animal Footprints
Mrs. Lawson spied an animal print. The animal print was on the green rug. She heard the doorbell ring. She discovered that nobody was there. But then, she looked down. Her dog Maggie was there. She had found her dog! She opened the door and brought Maggie in. She picked her up and put her on her desk. She got out her play clay and put Maggie's foot down on it. It matched perfectly like the one on the green rug. Then she put Maggie outside the door again.

Too funny! It was hard not to laugh out loud as the kids dictated their stories to me this morning.

But when Marshall tells a story he can sure hold his own on length. "And then..." I've sat through several never ending stories composed by the little man. :)
