Little Miss Tender Conscience...

As most of you know, the differences between boys and girls is usually very apparent. We have found this to be true since the beginning-Hobbes was practically born holding a car, and Madeline came out knowing how to get what she wants all through a look. We have especially seen a contrast, however, in their reaction to discipline or getting caught. As I have mentioned before, Madeline is our little whirlwind of trouble. She is very quiet when she plays, and even though she is still crawling, she reminds me of Jack-Jack (note The Incredibles) in that she seemingly goes from room to room within seconds, and without being seen doing it. She can pull out every book and toy in their room within less than 5 minutes, and has made messes that I would have never even thought of. The difference is, though, that she honestly falls apart as soon as she is caught, or spoken sternly to. Hobbes knows not to do something, has been punished before for it, and chooses to do it anyway...mr. will of iron, shall we say?
The other day, the pantry was left open for a second, and I came in to find this. When she saw me,though, this face came out...and I had to take a picture before dealing with it.:)
Gotta love kids!
