5/365: Behaviors

Today was another good day with my children, even if we were coughing our heads off due to sinus problems this morning. It was a day for many thoughts and happenings, for example Kaylynn tried to roller skate outside today and Connor laughed when she fell (there is that brotherly love
I was talking about). Connor has a wonderful laugh, but what child under 13 doesn't. We did manage to get out of the house today to go to target, which will two children is an adventure in it's self. While we were there a elderly lady and a few those smiled and played with the children, Connor mainly (you know
people can't resist a baby). Each time commenting on how much they look like each other or me, this fact always amazes me. My children and I have no blood relation to each other nor do they have blood between the two of them. saying that, I pick on Eric at least once a day that Kaylynn is his child through and through. She  acts like him, talks like him and even writes like him (I am hoping that will change in time). She looks like Eric, she has so many of his behaviors that it is unreal. I know what your think, sure she has been around him her all life from day one of course she is going to pick up on somethings, but they even love the same foods!
He is a great father and a wonderful man, but I real don't think I can handle having Eric and Kaylynn; who acts like Eric. I will give you a great example, yesterday she got up on the couch to sit by me, but she want something on the coffee table; I asked her what she wanted (as a rule I don't get it for her until she can tell me what it is); after being asked repeatedly she climbed down got the car(we cant do anything with cars); climbed back on the couch with this "mom this is what I wanted" half smile and I realized I had seen that same look a hundred times from Eric. For most people saying that your child looked just like their dad won't be a big deal, but for us it is huge. It will always amaze me that my children act like Eric or even me, It is a blessing that will always be here.
Goodnight all; See ya'll tomorrow
