How do I tell you that he has your eyes, your freckles or your thick chubby ears? I wish you could see the funny faces he makes when he knows he has been caught with his hand in the cookie jar. If you were privy to his comical behavior and jokes I know you would smile and laugh the way we all do. It is sad you don’t see his serious side when he is engrossed in a favorite book or playing with his Legos. Did you know he loves to read and play with Legos? How about his aversion to most types of cheeses with the exception to the fancy and expensive cheese. He surely gets that from you.
His new hair cut reminds me so much of you when you were that same age. Hard to tell who is who. I watch him and find myself thinking about you. What was your childhood like when you were his age? Did you have a happy life like he does? Were you Mr. Serious one minute and then making everyone laugh with an antic the next? Did you read books for hours at a time and what was your favorite toy?
I wish you could spend the time with him; getting to really know him. I wish you could see the little boy with your namesake who looks exactly like you. I wish you could see his thick chubby ears.
