Like father, like son;-)

It is so common everywhere...we see our friends, our family members or even a person sharing the elevator, and the words just come out of your mouth...."ohhhh, he is so cute, looks like you" or "she looks like a mix of both of you". Some people say the kid looks like the mother, some say he/she looks like Dad. In my son's case, the unilateral decision is that he looks like his dad totally. Good for me that I have a birthing video so I can show him that I am his biological mom!!!!
Apart from the looks, there are also other things that we inherit from our parents, like the way you fold your legs when sitting, or the hand writing (slanting or straight). My son too, has inherited these other qualities from his dad.
  1. Impatience: When I go shopping with my hubby, I have to write a to-buy list, so all we have to do is go to the particular aisle and get the stuff that's needed. Any window shopping is strictly prohibited. Take my son shopping and he is at his worst behavior. Never gives me time to browse for stuff.
  2. My son and my hubby are not outdoor guys. My hubby's idea of a great day is to wake up late in the morn, read the news(he can read it for hours), have a delicious home cooked meal, take a nap for an hour or so, and then watch a movie in the evening. My son would sit on for hours with his numbers and alphabets puzzle and never get bored with it, he always prefers playing with his toys rather than going out and playing in the slide.
  3. Both of them are very content and happy when their simple pleasures are met. My hubby gets excited with the new issue of Time Magazine. My son would jump with joy if I spend time with him doing reading, writing or coloring.
I am sure you can point out lots of stuff common with your kids or your parents. But what gives my son the unique edge is his tooth. Just have a close look at my son's teeth formation. We had gone to San Fransisco yesterday and this was the smile he gave us when we took him to a park, and showed him the ducks. There is a gap between his lateral incisor tooth and his canine tooth. There are 2 canine teeth for all of us, on the left and the right. For my son, they have changed places, that is, his left canine tooth is on the right. Guess who has the same teeth formation??
