I found this chart and thought it was pretty interesting.  Some of it is right on the money.  Some of it doesn't apply to my girls. 

Here's the break down:

 

  

 

Sadie -  (First)

 

I have been told, and have always said, that Sadie has an old soul.  She is wise beyond her years and has always been more mature for her age.  She is definitely a natural leader.  She doesn't mind taking the leadership role in any circumstance.  She is also a high achiever.  She is very involved in school and church organizations.  She always wants to do her best and be the best at whatever she does, except for keeping her room clean.  I have to say that as of now, organized is not a word that I would use to describe Sadie...maybe because she is a teenager, but that is not her strong suit.  On-time is another one of those.  I think she may have inherited that gene from me.  She is not so bad about being late a lot, but she pushes the limits on punctuation.  I would agree a little on the know-it-all.  She is pretty smart about a lot of things.  She likes to argue her point.  I told her she would make a great lawyer.  She likes to "know things" and look things up and be informed.  When she doesn't know something, she "Googles" it to find out.  Bossy....ummm...a little, but not really.  I guess when it comes to her sisters she is the definition of bossy, but then, they all are together.  So, I really wouldn't call her bossy.   She is absolutely responsible.  I don't even really know how that happened, but she really always has been.  She is one that obeys the rules and I don't ever worry about her sneaking around to do anything.  I would definitely call her an adult-pleaser.  She doesn't like disappointing anyone.  She has deep remorse if she thinks she has hurt anyone's feelings or let them down.   

 

 

 

Sophie - (Middle)

 

I do worry about the middle child syndrome with Sophie.  The first thing on this list is flexible.  Sophie is somewhat flexible.  She doesn't spazz out when things are out of the ordinary, but that is kind of our life.  We have to be flexible.  But she does like to know in advance what the plans are and who is doing what and where and how. Easy going goes with flexible, so I'm still torn with that one because she likes a schedule and an itinerary, but she is most of the time okay with Plan B.  So maybe she's not flexible, but she is easy going, so that it makes it easier.  Sophie is definitely social.  She loves loves loves people.  All people.  She loves big crowds, but doesn't like to be the center of attention.  She loves being involved and doesn't enjoy playing by herself.  She will talk to anyone about anything.  When I think of Sophie being a peacemaker, I initially think no because she argues with Sadie and aggravates Molly.  But really, she doesn't like controversy outside of her siblings.  She takes up for kids at school.  She loves for people to be treated fair.  Sophie is not independent.  That's probably my fault because I do try hard to make up for her being the middle child.  It is odd that secretive is on the list.  I would use the word sneaky instead of secretive.  She is a sneaky little thing.  But she doesn't keep secrets from me yet.  She does have a tendency to feel that life is unfair.  Maybe because she has a big sister that gets to do things she doesn't, and a little sister that gets away with too much at the age she is.  But maybe it's is also because life is not fair and she has seen that a little more than she should at her age.   A strong negotiator is absolutely what Sophie is!  She always has a reason or an excuse for the things she does.  She always tries to negotiate her punishments or her rewards or the "if I do this can you do that" things.  Generous is another word that fits her to a tee.  She is a very giving person. She has her selfish moments, but she loves to give more than to receive. 

 

 

Molly - (Last)

Good Golly Miss Molly....ain't that the truth!  She is surely a risk taker and isn't scared of anything, except spiders.  She is very outgoing once she warms up.  She will talk to anyone in Walmart until they talk back to her and then she doesn't like it too much.  But once she warms up, she will talk your ear off.   It's still a little early to tell about her creativeness.  She likes to sing and she will make up words to made up songs.  That's pretty creative.  Molly is three, so of course she is self centered.  It's all about Molly!  It is way too early to tell if she is financially irresponsible.  Lord, I hope she's not going to be.  I will be too old to take care of her financially if she gets herself into a bind.  Competitive....absolutely!!!  She wants to win at everything from Bingo to Foot Races and she wants to be able to do anything that anybody does too.  Molly really doesn't get bored easily yet. She is good at entertaining herself, but she doesn't have to do that very often because everyone caters to her.  Molly doesn't like to be pampered....she LOVES to be pampered!  Often times she comes and sits in my lap and says, "Hold me like a baby."  She's definitely a girly girl.  She loves to have her toes and fingernails painted.  She loves bubble baths.  She is dying to get her ears pierced.  She loves dresses and fancy shoes.  But she refuses to keep her hair up or a bow in.  I can't figure that one out.  What a sense of humor Molly has!!!  It really amazes me the things that she picks up and the way that she communicates.  She always has us rolling and I always have stories to tell about the funny things that Molly says.

 

 

Regardless of how typical their personalities are in some ways and even non typical in some ways.  I love how their personalities are different and they are their own little people.  I love how lucky I am to be their Mom.  They are truly the best gifts I have received.  I love them so much!!  Even though sometimes they drive me batty, I wouldn't want anything any different.  I love my girls!!
