The difference between boys and girls

So, for those of you who don't know yet...there is a difference between raising boys and raising girls. My boys, for instance, cared a great deal about phonics, but not so much about reading when they were 4. Morgan, wants to read all the time, but is more concerned about singing the alphabet song, then writing her letters. The boys were all about eating...snacks, fruit, dinner, breakfast. Anytime, all the time. Morgan on the other hand, has no interest really. Come dinner time its always, "I'm not hungry". And the most recent discovery...when Chandler and Gabe were in preschool, and we would ask them about their friends, Chandler couldn't tell me any one's name. Its not that he didn't have friends, he just didn't care enough to find out their names. They were simply-"that kid". Gabe only knew the names of the girls. (he's our resident 'lady's man'). Morgan on the other hand, comes home from preschool and tells me all about what so and so was doing, and Tucker got in trouble for this, and Mackenzie asked me to this party, and Seth at this at lunch. Its amazing how much of the fluff of her daily life she retains.
