With the warm weather here means we are outside walking, biking, skipping, dancing, jumping, running. With all the activities comes the small accidents with cuts, scrapes, bruises, and a little bleeding. :(
That brought us to Mother's Day when we were all outside enjoying the weather and the new puppy. My daughter was running and down she fell. Her reactions: screaming, crying, not walking because of her little boo boo's. She threw a fit when I tried to clean it and she remained on the couch for at least an hour because she was still "in pain." I thought it was a typical reaction for a 4 year old girl.
Then about 2 hours later my son falls and scrapes his leg. His reaction: a tiny whimper cry for maybe 3 seconds. He was bleeding more then his sister was and he then he was ready to go back and play before I could even pick him to bring him in to clean it.
I really witnessed a tough boy (almost 14 months) compared with my 4 year old sensitive sweet girl. It made me and my husband giggle for a little bit. I was just thrown aloof at how different they two acted in similar situations.
So parents with a child of each sex... what have you noticed? I would love to hear your stories. :)
