SIck House

We were doing so well for a while. Now sickness has come to our house. A got sick about two weeks ago, shortly after E and K got it. They started to get better and I thought we were in the clear. However, last night the baby started coughing. Now I hate it when the big girls get sick, but it's a whole other ballgame when a three month old gets it. Arrgh... Poor kid.
On another note, I read a very interesting article in Time called, "The Power of Birthorder." In a nutshell it says,
1st borns are:
1. Better educated than younger sibs
2. More concerned with parents expectations
3. Likelier to serve as family historian and guardian of aged parents
4. Higher IQ
Middle Sibs:
1. Take longer to choose a career than other sibs
2. Less connected to family, more to friends
3. May de-identify from firstborn, make opposite choices
4. Lacks parental recognition, may develop self-esteem issues
Younger Sibs:
1. More tolerant of risk
2. Frequently funnier than other sibs
I'm curious as to what you think.
Miss ya buddy!
