When people ask me if either of the boys’ personality is starting to reveal itself, I used to say, “The only thing I can tell so far is they both really like boobs.”

Now, however, I can see differences in their behavior. Wyatt is pretty mellow, while Boone is excitable and boisterous. He fusses if Wyatt takes a toy from him whereas Wyatt kind-of shrugs it off if Boone takes a toy from him… What I’m saying is Boone is already grounded just because I know he’s the evil twin.

Okay. He’s not evil. He’s just loud. Very, very loud.

Experts say not to label your babies. Even saying something like “Oh, he has trouble napping” subtly affects they way you and others treat the kid. The logic is, if we say to the babysitter that our baby is a bad napper, she will then treat him this way — perhaps rescuing him from the crib if he wakes up too early — even if he woke up not because he’s a bad napper, but because he simply woke up as babies will do. This prevents him from learning how to put himself back to sleep, which solidifies bad sleeping habits, which means he’ll spend his adolescence roaming the streets at night, maybe meeting the wrong people, which leads to petty crime, then hard drugs, then a few attempts at rehab, possibly jail, which he tries to turn into a memoir, but he inserts some fictionalization to add “color,” then he decides to add a lot of fictionalization, then he just decides to make the whole thing fake because fake stories are so much easier to tell than real ones, but some savvy readers pick up on it and he gets roasted by Oprah on national television. So, don’t label your babies.

And just to be clear, “labels” and “names” are two different things. I’m not saying you shouldn’t name your baby. Although, it’s a good idea to refrain from naming him or her things like Bad Napper, Gassy or Petty Criminal.
