"Opposites attract," "No two snowflakes are alike," Walking to the beat of a different drum..." What is that old adage? Oh yeah, I remember..."Two children of the same parents are sometimes so completely different in every way it makes you wonder about that whole DNA theory."
Meet Kelsey and Jaycee. My middle children who seem to defy the odds of similarity although they belong to the same family, have been raised with the same influences, and are less than two and a half years apart in age.
Kelsey (aka "Roo") is a tomboy through and through. She loves sports and sweatshirts, hats and bandannas. When she is not playing tennis, she loves to roller blade, skateboard and ride her bike--her very sleek, dark blue dirt bike.
Jaycee, on the other hand is a girly-girl through and through. She loves music and pink blouses, jewelery and makeup. When she is not doing gymnastics she loves to play with dolls, and Webkins. She will ride her bike if she has to--her lovely purple with silver appliques road bike.
Roo is very practical and even-tempered. Jaycee is...not.
Jaycee is very social and talkative. Roo is...not.
Roo is neat and organized. Jaycee is...not.
Jaycee is into all of the latest styles. Roo is...not.
I am begging Roo to wear just a little bit of clear lipgloss.
Jaycee is begging me to let her wear just a little bit of blush, eyeshadow, eyeliner, mascara, and bright pink lipstick.
Roo will not be caught dead in anything pink with lace, ruffles, sparkles or bows. Jaycee will not be caught dead in anything un-pink without lace, ruffles, sparkles or bows.
Jaycee is a drama queen.
Roo is a peacemaker.
Jaycee loves Hannah Montana.
Roo...LOVES HANNAH MONTANA TOO!!!
Well, what do you know! These two have something in common after all! Miley Cyrus adorns their walls, blares from their cd players and embellishes their clothing. Both of my girls were shrieking in unison to the acoustic booming of the Hannah Montana concert last fall. One difference stands out though...
Roo wants to SEE Hannah Montana.
Jaycee wants to BE Hannah Montana!
Well, what would we do with more than one pop star in the family anyway?

They are so cute! Do you think Roo is a tomboy for life? Or do you think she will grow out of it like Lexi? I don't think Jaycee will ever stop being a girly girl!
I love Miley Cyrus! She is so cute! I want to thank Roo and Jaycee for introducing me to her! If it were not for them, I would still think Miley and Hannah Montana were two different girls! Thank you girls!
