Our Kids Are So Seriously Clones Of Us

by Shannon on 1.30.09

1-30-09gymI had a parent-teacher conference today at the girl’s preschool. Summary: She’s doing great socially, needs a little work on fine motor skills. Also had Parent Observation Day at gymnastics, with essentially the same report. It was funny to watch her talk, talk, talk to the instructor while on the balance beam and the bar, yet she’s not so strong physically compared to girls her age. Her vocabulary is amazing. She likes to take her time and do things her own way. She doesn’t care what others think of her. In other words, she’s my husband.

He’d rather not leave the house most of the time unless it’s to ski, play baseball, go running or swimming, play football or just play tag. He’s pretty strong and athletic and picks up sports easily. Fastidious, perfectionist, and self-conscious. In other words, he’s me.

Your son is so much like my son AND my son is so much like me except he looks just like his father. :)
