Do you ever catch glimpses of your personality in your child?
Yesterday, my 2 year old figured out how to open the front door. He ran out into the hallway (we live in a condo) twice before I could get the deadbolt set. Then, ignorant of this fact, he proceeded to tell me he was going out, to go eat cake. Then he got his ball and told me he was going to play soccer, by himself. (Of course then he brought me his shoes because he needed me to put them on for him. )
For probably the first time, I thought, that's MY child! It's probably normal toddler behavior but he just seemed so adventurous and independent like mama!
