I wonder how it will be thought of several years from now - remember Dr Spock (just as well we didn't follow his advice).

Rowan (first born) has signs outside his room too advising in the strongest terms for others to keep out to no avail. And Nathan doesn't feel as constrained by rules as his brother in keeping with the book too. <BR/>I do feel for Dragon. His sign is very creative.Smilie girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15770837525855113732noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9155290571763326042.post-78599770879487995082009-04-05T08:05:00.000+10:002009-04-05T08:05:00.000+10:00I think the book also says if first and second bor...I think the book also says if first and second born are different gender you can possibly have a double first-born situation (which explains why I had most of the first born tendancies although I was second born, except the tidy bit - although I don't think Wolf had that one either.)Mum-mehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10964065407491663047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9155290571763326042.post-90286081202234581772009-04-05T03:45:00.000+10:002009-04-05T03:45:00.000+10:00I love your mom's comment!
