Tornado vs. butterfly

Nicole and Allison are similar in ways.  They are also different.  One of the ways they are different is their reactions to certain things.  For example, when Nicole was 1-2 months old, if I ever went out in the bright sun, she would arch her back, panicking.  I had to be prepared so she wouldn't fall out of my arms - especially because we lived in an attic at the time, the entrance to which were tall, rickety, old red stairs, built by the owner himself.  In contrast, as an infant, if Allison encountered bright daylight, she would simply close her eyes.

When Nicole was one-and-a-half or maybe two, whenever the sun shone in her eyes while in the car seat, or if the windows were down when we were driving, she would yell incessantly, "No biiiiiiiite!  No weeendy!" (No bright, no windy).  This became a theme of our car rides, as if combating the sun and the wind had previously proved itself to be a fruitful strategy.

Now, honestly, sometimes Allison does cry about the sun in her eyes while in the car seat, but that only lasts a few seconds.  And, yesterday, after pushing her around in the stroller with the bright sun in her face, when we got her out and put her in the car seat, she said calmly, "Tooh bite."  Other times, she will quietly repeat, "Tooh hot."
