I’ve written about this before but I’m continually amazed to find two children, who arrived in this world through the same coordinated efforts of two loving parents, can be so drastically different in personality.  For those of you who’ve followed this blog might remember this post from our trip to Disney in February. This is where Ryan just, without warning, put his arm around some unsuspecting little girl.  To this day I haven’t decided whether to encourage such boldness or not.

Coop found himself in a similar situation this past weekend at Ry’s karate class.  A much older and taller girl, at least four months older) was infatuated with our little baldy bean but Mr. Cooper would have nothing of it.  With brash disdain for the opposite sex he would continually run away or turn away, even once he did some sort of Mr. Miyagi hand swipe but only hit himself in the process.  I say all that to say this.  I do believe that these boys, while different, will develop their own likes and interests and personalities.  I’m really excited to watch this wild journey.  I also think that Cooper is going to make an excellent wingman!
