In one corner, weighing in at 49lbs, at 42 inches tall is the little man armed with pencil, notebook and anything with a word on it, including the remote control.
In the other corner, weighing in at 65lbs, at 50 inches tall is the little lady armed with....ahhh....well....not really armed with anything, just on all fours prancing around the living room.
Little man spent the night copying words from everywhere and anywhere - he wants to learn how to spell and wants to read and asks 1,000 questions an hour. He can retain knowledge like no ones business.
Little lady spent the night pretending she was a horse on a farm, complete with neighing, whinnies, rearing and other imaginary horses. She can conduct a mean session of make believe.
As we approach their birthdays in a few weeks, I find myself pausing and wondering what they'll be when the grow up...right now, I have a sponge and a horse. Stay tuned to see how it all plays out.

Our boys are the same age, no? My 5 1/2 year-old little man is the SAME WAY with pencil and paper and wants me to spell every. single. word so he can write it down. The other day, I was busy and randomly spelling words. When he was done, he had crafted a party invitation "for the entire world but I don't know your names." Heh.
