The Difference Between Jack and Derek
People often ask me if Jack and Derek have different personalities, and the answer is a resounding yes. Obviously, Derek’s personality isn’t as formed as Jack’s is, but already you can tell that they have fundamentally different temperaments. They’re both happy children, but Jack is loud and wants to be the center of attention, while Derek is more reserved. He expresses his happiness by smiling and wriggling and all that, but it’s hard to get him to giggle, even when he’s obviously delighted by something. He’s also very polite in expressing his displeasure.
But, why explain this in words, when you guys can see for yourselves? This picture illustrates what I’m trying to say perfectly:
Notice how Jack’s got the crazy hat and big grin on his face, and is trying to ride Derek, who just looks a little concerned.
There’s also this hilarious video to illuminate the difference in personalities (make sure you have your volume on):
We’ll see how this pans out as they get older!

These encapsulate the boys so perfectly…
Awwwww . . . such completely different personalities!
Hahaha. Oh this is too adorable.
YEP! I’m RIGHT there with you! Kyle (who is 3) and Troy (just turned 1) are very very different. And just like your boys, my oldest is the assertive, energetic one, and the little one is more reserved.
The other day, i was in the bathroom getting ready, when i hear the little one grunting in frustration. I go see what is happening, and Kyle had put the laundry basket on top of Troy and sat on top of it (like a cage). Kyle was all giggles and Troy, poor thing, just wanted out. SIGH~ boys!
Beverly, what a cute video! I loved Jack talking in the bkground and Derek is just smiling at you…both of your boys are adorable and they do have different personalities which is so neat! Keep the videos coming b/c I love watching them.
p.s. I agree with what you said! I just hope the guy has some kind of religious upbringing or knows right from wrong.
