Trisha Sides

Lisa, This sounds to me like pretty normal first born and second born
behavior. They usuallly are very different personality types. Your younger
son probably does learn in a different way, you may be surprised one day to
realize how much he absorbs just from his environment. He may not ask
questions of his own, but I would bet he listens to the answers.I wouldn't
worry about it too much. Trying to make him more like his brother would do
more harm than good.
