The Ten Things post has been circulating lately, so I thought I'd add to the fun. The idea is to write down ten ways that you and your child are alike. But Isaac is such a mix of J. and me that the best way to describe him is to choose, say, five ways he's like me, and five ways he's like his dad. So here we go:
Like me:
1. We wake up slooowly most mornings. J. describes it thus: "as if you were evolving from the primordial ooze."
2. We both love letters and language, and can get a little lost in the way that words sound.
3. We are both left-handed.
4. He has my eyes, but in brown.
5. We have the same goofy, hiccup-y laugh. And the same juvenile sense of humor. (But only one of us has an excuse.)
Like J.:
1. The exact same walk. The same hands, feet, forehead, basically, the same body, in miniature (but not for long!)
2. The same stunning facility with numbers.
3. Both hate crowds, loud noise, prefer socializing in small groups.
4. The same kind, open nature, mixed with a goofy take on the world.
5. A sense of adventure and love of the little things.
How are you like your child?
