Random DNA Ponderings

I am always amazed at how siblings who share the same dna can be so vastly different from one another, whenever I was pregnant I used run my hand over my belly and think about what my sons would be like, would they look like their father or me, would they be stubborn and fiery or calm and shy, would they love books and walks in the rain would they like gaming or even sports, I pondered this for many hours on end and created these beautiful pictures in my head, but nothing and none of it compared to the day I first held each of them in my arms, the day I smelt their hair and ran my fingers over their hands and feet.

I watch them now as they play and learn and still think about those pondering moments, I came pretty close in many ways and in others I could never imagine just how blessed I would be.

Loghan is incredible serious he takes everything literally but when he lets his guard down with the people he loves he such a clown, he is incredibly clever and has a gift for numbers I see in my Dad, like his father and myself he is fiery and stubborn but he is also incredibly loving great with kids nurturing and sensitive.

Gabriel has an imagination that puts to shame any children's book you could imagine, he is funny, incredibly blunt and not ashamed to tell it like it is and speak his mind, but he can also be incredibly shy and does not want to cause a bother to anyone around him, he is creative and artistic and also great with numbers, he is also a drama queen of note but unlike Loghan who thrives on and demands attention, Gabriel will seek it via other means. he is unorganized and messy to Loghan's ocd neatness and order, they couldn't be more different.

Jesse is mischievous and dramatic yet sweet and funny, he can be incredibly shy the one minute and then out and about the next, he is cheeky and clever, loves to sing and dance and absolutely loves and thrives on attention yet is incredibly dramatic when this attention is received for the wrong reasons.

All 3 are mine, 2/3 have the same father and yet they are so incredibly different and I love that, right now their difference leaves them at odds with each other but it is my hope that as they grow older they will appreciate the difference in each other like I do.
