Throughout their tender years, the twins have always had differing personalities. The eldest, H, suddenly turned into a teenager at approximately age 6 and her moods were completely unreadable. The slightest thing that could be misread would be and she'd blow her top and rant and rave and get everyone worked up trying to calm her down. J on the other hand, always seemed to be so sweet, although the fact she was such a sticky beak would get her into trouble.

H really got into the moody teen thing a year or so ago, her anger growing and then exploding and I'd have to find inventive ways to cool her down. Suddenly, although she still gets grouchy at times, those times are decreasing in length and her dippy side, the one that makes us laugh and her smile in wonderment at our laughter has become the dominant one. Not J. J, my sweet little girl, has turned into a full blown why-should-I-give-a-f'ing-sh*t kinda girl. Although there are still cute moments and times when she's playing along and being totally hilarious, I am still shocked each time a big outburst leaves her lips and looking at her eyes you can see the pure anger.

I'm hoping she grows out of it and not too far in the future either... jeepers, she can give the most withering looks.
