#1 was super-competitive after #2 came along. They competed and pushed each other to be better, academically and athletically. When #3 came along, he took one look at that rivalry and decided it wasn't for him. Was cheerful and grounded and not competitive at all. Then, after the older two had left for college, a spark was lit. He realized he could do really difficult things when he put his mind to it. Discovered that he actually enjoyed competing (when his brothers weren't around), put in the effort and got good at golf, led the varsity team. I am really proud of the way he challenges himself now.
