Like two peas in a pod? Not quite.

It never fails to amaze me how different my children are, particularly my two boys. Here is an example.

Kye tastes everything. He casually lifts this and that into his mouth, slobbers on it for a second or two, and then moves onto the next thing. He does this in Tweenie's room with great delight mainly because (I believe) he and Rascal are almost never allowed inside. So when I was in there recently picking up, he roamed from corner to corner tasting as he went.

Rascal bashes everything. He casually lifts this and that up into the air and smashes it against a second object to see what happens, then moves onto the next thing. As with Kye, he gets very excited about being in Tweenie's room and tries to destroy as many things in as short a time as possible. Tweenie has all her Barbie, Polly Pocket, and My Little Pony stuff set up very deliberately, and so there are many many targets for Rascal's rampage.

So this is how yesterday went. First Kye came into the room and tasted. When he was about halfway done, Rascal came in and destroyed behind him. I chased them both out and plopped them in front of the TV. Kye looked at the screen for a second, then glanced over at Rascal who was mesmerized by the singing vegetables.

Kye casually lifted Rascal's hand and tasted it. And, well, you already know what Rascal does...

Let's just say there is no permanent damage.
