This kid hasn't got a chance

This picture tells it all. Elizabeth posed perfectly for the camera while Jude is still trying to figure out what just happened. I never realized how much I actually did *cough* do for my first born. You can spot a first child a mile away. Or in my case, an inch from my camera lens before the lens cap even comes off. My super hip college friend did a little comparison of when your baby becomes a toddler here.

So I thought I would do a little comparison of my own between the first and second child.

You know your the second child when.....

1. You can only find one picture of you dressed up for Halloween and you are already four years old in the picture. (oh and its a hand-me-down costume) You older sibling has at least a dozen per Halloween from birth.

2. When you binky falls on the floor your mother simply picks it up, magically blows the germs off with her breath and pops it back in your mouth.

3. All of your clothes are hand-me-downs with some one's name on the tag that you don't even know AND you are wearing your sisters old winter coat. You are a boy and its pink.

4. Your socks don't match. (and they are pink)

5. You need a hair cut so mom puts her hair-cutting skills to work.

6. Only a fraction of your diet is organic and you had peanut butter BEFORE you turned two. **GASP**

7. Your diaper is always full and dragging on the ground.

8. You have eaten dirt....a lot!

9. Your mother and father have no idea when your last bowel movement was.

10. Your parents are comfortable leaving you with a babysitter they find on Craigslist.

11. You are left in your crib to cry ***pause*** you are left to cry.

12. You can play by yourself.

Second Child, you are a well adjusted person in the world. Forced to be a problem solver from birth because we know your parents are doing it for you. You will happily play whatever game your older sibling would like to play. Whether it be to get a little extra attention or just to shut them up. You have a strong immune system because lets face it, your parents aren't watching you like a hawk and you just ate some old food off the floor. You are always in multiple layers cuz you know its cold in the shadow of that over-indulged older sibling. And why can I say any of these things? Because I am the baby of the family!
