I notice some similarities

When the kids were smaller, Lizzie & Will had a slight preference for Nana.  This seemed legit to me since she was the one who fed them and changed their diapers when they were with them.  

Well, when Theo came along and he seemed to have a preference for Poppy.  He'd sit with Poppy & go to Poppy first.  He even asked for Poppy out of the blue sometimes.  Maybe it had something to do with sharing a name.  Theo's middle name is my maiden name, Collier.   Anyway, they're great buddies.

But what we've noticed lately is how much Theo is acting like Poppy.  For those of you who know my dad, this could be a scary thought!  :)  It's actually in his sense of humor and tendency to laugh that we've noticed this.   Theo will just bust up laughing sometimes and continue laughing long after everyone else has stopped.  Then everyone else is laughing again, at him laughing!  If you've ever been with my dad when he has a "laughing fit" then you'll know why this reminds us of him!  So here's a little photo comparison.




Laughter, it's a great thing! We hope Theo is always able to laugh, especially at himself!
