In the age old fight of nature vs nurture, I would like to throw in my 2¢.
My little JoeJoe is one of the most independent babies I have ever seen. Yes, he likes to be held and cuddled and loved, but he loves to play alone. Neither of my older kids ever liked to play alone (much to my chagrin). Now that I am on my last kid and trying to squeeze out every "last" with him, he'd rather sit on the floor and chew on a car or kiss a babydoll.
what makes him so independent when my girls still need direction in their playtime? One could argue that they were raised by the same mom in the same environment (they were even delivered by the same doc in the same hospital!) and so they should have the same comportment. That is not the case. You've never seen such different kids. The oldest is reserved and calculating. The second is a ham and sensitive. And baby? He's his own man. At ten months, he's more socially independent than my 6 year old.
thank goodness for the proverbial "spice of life." I love to see my kids' differences and celebrate who they really are.

P.S. Is it wrong to use a pastry scraper to change this kid's diapers?

it's not wrong unless you decide to also use it to make pastries
I've never had a real purpose for a pastry scraper until this moment. Thank you! :)
sounds like my kids ... same personalities.
