People told me they were different, but I never really understood...

Isn't it crazy how different boys and girls can be? š¦š§
My first born, "Peanut" will be 5 in October. She spoke early on, and never stopped. She's clumsy as they come, smart as a whip, strong-willed, impulsive, passionate, and has an amazing imagination. She loves dinosaurs, animals, books "writing" stories, drawing pictures (but not coloring š) and telling other people what to do.
She reminds me so much of myself it's not even funny ā¤
Then there's my son.
"Bubba" will be two in August, so he is still developing his personality. But he's so busy and observant. He started talking quite a bit later and actually had me a little concerned compared to his sister (I know, I know. Variation of normal). š
He watches to see how things work. He likes animals, but LOVES anything with a motor and wheels, and takes driving them VERY seriously. He hauls animals and play food in anything that will hold them, and tries to hook up trailers to anything that will pull them. š
This picture was him this morning staring out the front door at his Pappy tilling up our pumpkin patch (while his sister was off, probably naked in her room reading books, instead of getting dressed š).
Bubba was content to sit in the stroller today, watching the tractor go back and forth, while his sister collected worms and snails and I worked in the garden. š±
I know this all may sound long- winded or braggy, but really I just wanted to illustrate the huge difference between my kids. They both keep me on my toes in different ways. Both can be super lovable, both have undesirable attitudes at times. Both laugh at farts š
But being raised in the same household, same toys, same parents, they're so different. And I love discovering the world right along side both of them. š
Is it the first/ second child thing? Or boy girl thing? Combo of the two? What are your kids' personalities like?
