[quote=Anonymous]1st was high need. 2nd was so easy! I will never forget the first time he just fell asleep in his little baby chair. He got tired, closed his eyes, and fell asleep. I was so amazed and shocked lol.

High need is 14 now and very intelligent, very bright. Talented in all sorts of ways, can do anything and do it well. Amazing artist. Super organized, loves order and checklists. Very thoughtful, and her mind is quite amazing. Gets straight A's, but with marks like 99% in LA, 98% in math. She has remarkable intuition and sets good boundaries for how others treat her.

She strives, sometimes too much (we work on this - like she would've still gotten 100% but could've done 40% less work). She has anxiety about social situations. She is hard on herself. It's hard as a parent but she is still so determined and strong willed, very hard to get through sometimes. Hormones affect her very strongly. She is still just as sensitive. She cares quite a lot about what others think.

She is so reasonable and articulate, loves debate (she wants to be a lawyer) and I've given into more than I really wanted too and am sort of paying for that now.

As a baby she was a little better once she could walk and talk. While in the hospital, doctor said good luck with that one. I remember the nurses taking her thinking they could calm her down, that I was a new mom who hadn't learned yet. Then they brought her back.

She knew what she wanted, like she really did NOT like being a baby. She was planning her university living situation in grade 3. She is loyal.[/quote]
