Yeah, I know the feeling. All too well. The Whirlwind (see icon - also at age four) is child number four. If she'd been a first child, she wouldn't have siblings either. Not because I don't love her to death and delight in her, because I do, but because I would figure I really didn't have a handle on this parenting thing if she was so hard to control and created such mahem. I have three older kids who prove that I do have a clue, so I guess we're all lucky that it worked out like it did.
Eldest Daughter was one that was designed to sucker the parents into having a dozen more. We just stopped at two (biological) for world population reasons, and at four (total) so we could afford to educate them all.
