Girls, they wanna sing.

I am discovering that there are many and various ways that Connor and Sophia are different. Some of these differences may just be differences in personality, but I am starting to think that some of them are a result of the difference between boys and girls.

Here are some of the things that I am discovering about Sophia that seem like they may be more than just personality quirks.

1. She is a less messy eater than Connor. 
2. She cares more about hygiene than he does. Sophia hates to be messy. If she spills a little bit of something on herself she immediately wants a paper towel to clean it up. She comes and asks to have her hands washed if they get dirty from playing outside or eating a snack. 
3. Sophia can brush her teeth without toothpaste getting all over the bathroom. 
4. Sophia puts her own clothes away. Not always in the right place, but they end up in a drawer. Connor...not so much. 
5. Sophia cares for babies. She wraps her babies in a blanket, takes their temperature, rocks them, changes their diapers, and shares her drink with them. It is like she is a little mother in training. 
6. And my personal favorite...Sophia sings. All. The. Time. She loves to sing. What is most remarkable is that she has learned songs from her favorite movie, Tangled, and will sing along with them when we watch the movie. Connor likes to sing too, but more in a I just made up this song and now I want you to sing it with me, even though you don't know any of the words kind of way. Which is also fun, but different than singing songs from a movie. 

Perhaps these things are more universally true of girls, or perhaps they are just part of what makes Sophia the way she is. I suppose a couple of years from now I'll have a better idea of the answer. After all, a couple of years from now I will be able to report on Elinore's burgeoning personality.
