She is one of my best friends that I also have the honor of calling my daughter. Alayna Danielle, or Laynie as we call her, is my mini-me. Sometimes we argue and most of the time we are never on the same page but I think that's because we are so much alike we sometimes clash with each other. (My mother said that and that's actually why I was inspired to write this post!)
She's blonde, I'm brunette...She's skinny, I'm definitely not...She's awesome at Math & very smart, I wasn't either of those...but we are extremely alike in other ways. We are both tall, we are both silly, we both have the same sarcastic sense of humor and we both love art, music and Broadway musicals.
Even though she looks a lot like her dad's side of the family, everyone says that they can tell she is my daughter by her mannerisms. Apparently we have the same good heart, funny quirks, bad habits and silly faces.
We both absolutely love shopping for clothes and she is the person I bounce ideas off of when I want to buy a new purse. She will honestly tell me what looks great and what looks terrible and she's usually right. She may be 8 years old, but she's definitely fashion savvy and has an awesome sense of style.
I don't think we look anything alike, though some other people say we do, but she does remind me of myself at her age by some things she does and says. It's actually scary sometimes but I think that's what makes us as close as we are.
Are you a carbon copy of any of your children?
