I overheard this conversation that was occurring in the backseat of the car today and it describes my kid's personalities perfectly:
Trista: "I am going to be a scientist, a dolphin trainer, and a veterinarian"
(characteristics of Trista - studious, adventurous, and nurturing)
Trace: "I am going to be a baseball player and a skateboard guy!"
(characteristics of Trace - baseball (is baseball a characteristic? because it is just part of who Trace is) and a little bit of wild!)
