Opposites

I was looking through some pictures and ran across a couple that made me laugh. If I didn't give birth to both of my boys myself, I would never guess they were brothers. They really are opposites in every way. Of course they look very different. Ben looks like both John and me, I think (my long face, John's eyes). Jake looks exactly like my mom, only a ginger.

While Ben is passionate about sports (and the outfits that go along with them), Jake is the super coordinated one. Ben enjoys playing alone, with "guys" or watching a movie; Jake is more of a mover and a shaker and likes to be where the action's at. Ben is slightly shy to new people; Jake will charm hugs out of people in the grocery store (a lady actually kissed his face once... creepy!). The only thing they share is a house and their love of sugar.



And these two together just make me laugh. Jake and Luke, who are the same age (Jake is a month older). I know it's bad to say, but I love watching them battle it out over toys. Luke has size and brute strength, Jake has nothing but sheer determination. They are hilarious together.



And because I can't even write the word "opposite" without singing this song, here's a little McSkat Kat and Paula Abdul for you...
