I don't know what I expected - I had never really thought about having dc and then they sort of happened all at once. I wandered through my pregnancies largely in denial..But yes, they are very lovely (whose aren't, indeed?). DS is the nicest, happiest, jolliest boy you could meet who likes nothing better than to have a laugh (loves MN), but is also quite self-contained and does his own thing. He has never had a tantrum in his life. And he's terribly handsome (unbiased view).
DD is a funny old stick who is a bit too much like her mother than is good for her. Have to keep pointing out that tongue-biting is a good idea in one of her years as her peers collapse around her. But she is very sharp, fast and funny, and very kind (it's always her chosen to look after new kids etc). She's v handsome too.
Apart from the odd word they get along very well. Not sure how it would be if she were the elder, however. His tolerance and humour counts for a lot.
Da Dah!
