As I watch more and more of Alyssa’s personality come out, I can’t help but realize she is definitely her father’s daughter. In addition to inheriting the shape of his face, the shape of his eyes, his nose, hands and hair type (though he and I have similar types of hair – dark, thick and coarse), she has inherited his personality. She is quite the little charmer, and generally is pretty good natured. However, Alyssa is a little grump. She is moody and whiny. Dan, while generally good natured, is a big, fat whiner, and has more mood swings in a week than I’ll have in six months. I have never bought Midol, or any other type of medication OTC or prescription, desired to help with PMS symptoms, but I’m tempted to buy some now, for Dan. And, in several years, for Alyssa.
Ryan, on the other hand, is more like me. He is good natured, happy and a bubbly, drool-y little bucket of sunshine. While I don’t drool, I am good natured, and have a pretty bubbly, happy personality. Ryan is stubborn like I am, but gets over grudges pretty quick.
Who do your kids take after?
