What you are doing is a real feat. Raising three girls differently who are basically the same. That takes some ingenuity and patience and guts. It seems to me like a great juggling act. I admire you and Dig very much for it.Irenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05043376053971475659noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1686467686335484826.post-89387054618782172342009-02-05T05:38:00.000-08:002009-02-05T05:38:00.000-08:00How wonderful to be seeing such unencumbered indiv...How wonderful to be seeing such unencumbered individuality!

I'm with Tiger though - give me the glue and the 'making' thing all day every day, and I'm in heaven.<BR/><BR/>My No.1 was born with an extra ICT gene, so that's her thing, preferably coupled with design - she could spend hours happily redesigning something, or 'photoshopping' a picture.<BR/><BR/>No.2 just wants to play football, and add numbers up.<BR/><BR/>I love their differences. xKittyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16259837826944310404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1686467686335484826.post-62812158757256354962009-02-04T16:44:00.000-08:002009-02-04T16:44:00.000-08:00I'm sure they will always have that 'sisterly toge...I'm sure they will always have that 'sisterly togetherness', no matter how far apart they are when they're all grown up! It's lovely to see them develop into such different little people. I hope you and Dig are very proud of yourselves for giving them so many opportunities . . . even if they do drive you to distraction at times ;-)sharonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03247276433803886670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1686467686335484826.post-85304976724506247762009-02-04T14:31:00.000-08:002009-02-04T14:31:00.000-08:00That is beautiful Grit, and they are lovely and yo...That is beautiful Grit, and they are lovely and you and Dig are bloody great stars.OvaGirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12150362175853549015noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1686467686335484826.post-58867458965915719632009-02-04T13:37:00.000-08:002009-02-04T13:37:00.000-08:00How strange.

You mention craft activities and two shout yippee and one groans. <BR/><BR/>Well done though on raising three individuals. I know some one with twins who dresses them identical and encourages them to speak "twin" because it's so cute. They are 5 years old, poor little mites.kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12708429699005394771noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1686467686335484826.post-10001659879830912062009-02-04T11:27:00.000-08:002009-02-04T11:27:00.000-08:00You wouldn't consider doing it any other way, but ...You wouldn't consider doing it any other way, but it's a real credit to you and Dig that you allow them to be themselves. Some parents are good at 'squashing' kids into molds. Thank goodness there are people like you who don't.<BR/>But, as you say, it's tougher! They'll have a huge amount in common and be great friends when they are older. You'll see.<BR/>I've been reading your blog for some time and I think you're a wonderful Mum. I homeschooled 3, so I know what it can be like.
