Like Mother...

One of the running jokes in my family is how I've always had a talent for being able to laugh and cry at the same time. Hubby actually didn't think we were serious until he witnessed it himself! Well, now it seems our daughter has inherited my talent. There have been several times that we've seen her mix laughing or smiling with crying or pouting- very impressive and adorable, if I do say so myself. This morning was extra funny, though. She had been FIGHTING going down for a nap for a while, and I finally just put her in the middle of my bed while I stood next to the bed and finally got to brush my hair and such. Well, in true tired mommy fashion, I started imitating her complaining cries, and she started laughing after each time I copied her- while continuing to cry! After a while she would let out a cry and then stop and wait for me to copy her, give a little whimpering laugh, and then cry some more. My goofy girl!
