Among the many things about my nephew that I can't get over -- how small he used to be, how big he is now, how much he's grown and changed already, how much more growth and change there will be, how woefully unprepared I am to deal with all of this, how much even more so my sister must be -- but among all these things, the two things I have the most trouble dealing with are
how much this kid looks like my sister ...
... and
how much this kid acts like my daughter.
Guess the question of nature v. nuture is settled, right? It's
both.
he learned the licking-the-plate trick from me. i do it all the time with my ice cream bowl :-)
