She lives up to them beautifully, and for most of her eight years has displayed a fondness for pleasing her parents and heeding instructions. At school, her teachers say she is 100% "on" every minute of every day, making sure to follow all the rules.
Our two boys? Not as much.
I present the evidence.
Two years ago, Samantha is looking at our photographer friend Paula while the rest of us are goofing around:
This Christmas, Samantha again looking at the photographer while the boys scramble to chase whatever shiny object has their eye:
And it's not just a group setting phenomenon -- Samantha will pose beautifully all by herself if you want to snap a photo.
The boys, on the other hand...
Here's one of Jack's recents poses:

Man, those are some adorable little ones! And looks like you finally passed on the red hair!
I think birth order has something to do with all of this too. My first two were compliant rule followers and number three is a hell raiser, has to always have the last word. And he's as lovable as the day is long.
You finally got with
Disregard last sentence
I love the pictures. Your story of Sam reminds me of Bob's daughter...her love of all things school led her to be a teacher. I wonder what your Sam will grow up to be?
Welcome to the "each one is as different as can be" club. Give the little guy time, he'll surprise you in a completely different way as well. Ain't fatherhood grand?
It's great!
No clue what any of my kids will grow up to be. They're still so young that it's very much a tossup.
As someone who has a 13 year old boy....Ahhhh! Please Lord tell me I didn't act like that. But I did and my folks loved me anyhow :)
Beautiful kids. You have a great fam Michael!
Yep, birth order always has 'something' to do with HOW kids act & react to their parents & each other & even others--but, I think you hit the nail on the head--is that right?--THIS has MORE to do with 'The Difference between BOYS & GIRLS'!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
LOVE 'EM ALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And, yes, it would not surprise me, at all, if Samantha grew up to become a 'Teacher'--she's ALREADY taught both her little brothers MANY things!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
BLESS ALL THEIR HEARTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And, ya'lls, too!!!!!!! LOVE YOU!
Mom
