And the Flowers Are Still Standing!
Look at this. It is remarkable. These orchids have lasted four months under my care and they're still pretty perky. Something about our temporary digs must appeal to them because I haven't had wild success in the past, to say the least.
Sebastian turned one and the big takeaway from his 12-month check-up was: "Don't compare." Is it inevitable that one compares one's children? Is this the advice that normally gets passed out or was I holding up Felix as an example too much? My primary lament (and the bags under my eyes spoke to this as well) was that Felix didn't have much trouble with teething, but that Sebastian seems to have the devil prodding at his gums all night.
This difference shouldn't surprise me, because the boys are completely dissimilar. They don't really look alike. They have different temperaments (as far as I can tell).
But I think I would have been surprised twelve or thirteen months ago if someone said that I would be as baffled and challenged by the second baby as I was with the first one.
