This made me smile so much! It reminded me of myself, and the 1st kid, 2nd kid syndrome. With my first, I thought for sure he would die if he fell, got dirty, ate something off the floor, you name it. Two years later, with his brother, I was like...is he still breathing...oh ok, everything's good. Fortunately, the younger one always led the older one to take chances, go for it, and be adverturous, despite my attempts to bubble wrap him!
