My mom is one of three girls and my dad is one of three boys. My father is the oldest and my mom is the youngest. I grew up with one brother. I wanted to have lots and lots of kids and would have if we could have. We chose to have three. Connor gets a lot of press time (being as he is who he is). But the youngest one is the handful. Of the three of them, Arwyn has the most "tude" and is the most challenging in terms of her will. Her siblings give her whatever she wants and tend to bow to that "will". Supposedly she's a lot like I was when I was this age. She is fiercely independent and defiant. She's giving us a run for our money. Connor is now sleeping in our room until they both fall asleep and then we move him back into the room with his sister. She sat on his head the other night and hurt his nose. She turns the room upside down at bedtime and Connor needs a bit more sleep then she's letting him get. Before she passed away my grandmother said to me (about Arwyn) "She'll find her way, she's the third child, she'll have to learn to fight"....being that she had raised three girls of her own, who was I to argue. Well...Arwyn has that fighting spirit and if she keeps going like she's going the teenage years should be pretty exciting !
