Like Father, Like Daughter

From when our kids were very young, we saw characteristics they had acquired  

either from his side or my side . . .

which often ended in playful teasing.

Sometimes I see a certain look in a grandchild and I see his daddy

or the way another one says something and I see the other side of the family.

Maybe it's easier to see the side we are not as familiar with.

On this night I noticed that what seemed normal to me

was taken note of by Shaun.

He saw how father and daughter can really get into a house plan.

They both feel comfortable with  numbers and measurements.

They both see the picture.

What I saw as completely normal, 

could have been seen as unusual.

The mathematical genes passed on 

along with family experiences where plans have always been around . . .

have surely made each of our kids, in some ways, like their father.

Again . . . it was just a moment in time,

but somehow special, in it's own unique way.
Maybe just for me.
