Differences

Clearly there are many differences in my littles.  I have been amazed to see "nurture vs nature" played out in my own house...where 3 boys are raised the same way at the same time...and they are SOOOO different! 

Here was one example that Nate saw as he took them out individually to practice hitting off a tee. 

He took N out first.  He is incredibly hard working.  He tried and tried and ran to get the ball over and over.  When Nate tried to show him how to hold the bat and better "technique", he was anxious to learn and listen and work on it. 

C was next.  His body is probably the most built for athletics...he is longer and leaner...a good runner, the first to master anything physical.  When Nate took him out, he took one good swing, then another, then was done.  Didn't want to work anymore, didn't want to learn anymore, didn't want to hear what Nate would tell him. 

L was last.  L liked the bat and the tee, but he wanted to do it all on his own terms.  He wouldn't let Nate help him at all.  He kind of swung the bat around his "own" way, did his own thing, but did it for awhile. 

So many more differences in them...so neat to see!
