Two Peas; Like Chalk & Cheese

Two peas in a pod and absolute extreme opposites. These two are similar in so many ways, yet worlds apart in others. People have started asking if they're twins. John is so tiny and David so big. They're actually in the same size clothes now, both weighing 2 stone too. Yet in terms of personality, they couldn't be more different.

John is a sensitive wee soul. Just today he told me he loved me countless times, asking for kisses & cuddles too. He is shy in new environments, always needing reassurance to try new things & liking to have his Mickey soft toy there by his side, just in case. With OCD tendencies when it comes to organising his toys & cars, he's very much already set in his ways. He's also a smart wee cookie who questions everything.

David on the other hand is a whirlwind, an absolute wrecking ball. He knows no fear, be it running as fast as his little legs will take him right into the face of danger. Or doing all he can to get the attention of a complete stranger. He's loud, oh so loud! I can't relax when David's awake, simply because I'm waiting for the next moment where I'll need to save him from his impending suicide attempt (see my recent vlog to hear more about David's death wish). He takes great pleasure in kicking throwing & generally destroying his big brothers perfectly organised belongings. David is also a goofball, happy in his own little world of all things nice!

These pair are like two peas in a pod, yet complete chalk & cheese. Yin and yang if you wanna get all deep & philosophical. It makes for interesting times; with them getting along, working together one moment and at each other's throat the next. But when John is feeling shy, David's there to bound on past him and show that there's nothing to worry about. And when David's charging towards danger (or trying to jump into a lake after swans...), John's there to hold him back and make sure he doesn't, y'know, die.
