Aries & Taurus

I am not normally one to follow horoscopes, but during my pregnancy everyone kept saying, "Oh, two Aries kids - you guys are in for trouble!" Since Porter was late and squeaked into the Taurus category I felt compelled to see what that meant for us. The excerpt below summarizes kids with these two signs and seems fairly accurate to us so far - especially since Matilda has been a bit extra firey the past week since Porter's arrival. We have so far been afraid of speaking out loud about Porter's disposition. He seems so chill and easy compared to Matilda as a newborn. Possibly it is our new, calm second-time parent approach, possibly it is that we are still in the newborn breaking-in period and he's yet to show his true colors, or MAYBE he's just a chill little guy who'll stay like this. 

"Talk about a mixed bag! Your Aries and Taurus children are as different as night and day. Young Aries is impetuous, restless, and full of energy. This kid leaps before she looks and gets into plenty of trouble as a result, but her courage is inspiring. Her need to be number one gives your Aries child plenty of drive, and little can stop her from pursuing her immediate desires.

Achieving long-term goals is another matter altogether -- and this is where your grounded, steady Taurus child excels. This robust youngster moves methodically and steadfastly toward his intended goal. He won't get distracted, even by his fiery Aries sibling.

While your Aries child has a short fuse and must learn to control her temper, your Taurus is gentle and very slow to anger. Despite their differences, these two can become great friends. "
