If I had a dollar for every time I heard this when Master 3 was born I would be a gizzillionaire! I just nod and smile now saying, "Yes, I know but he has my sparkling personality".
To be honest, I was actually shocked at how little Master 3 looked like me when he was born. He had really dark hair and a round little face with big, wonderfully squeezy cheeks. This is pretty much opposite to me! I actually hadn't given it a second thought that any child of my husband and I would at the very least look a little like bit of both of us.
I'm not saying its a bad thing to look like Mr Jones, far from it, Master 3 is completely gorgeous but I'm telling you, Mr Jones' DNA completely annihilated mine. The only thing Master 3 has of mine is his eyeball colour (he has his Dad's thick eyelashes - as a side, why do so many boys have lusciously thick eyelashes - it truly is a waste!) and the thickness of his hair. In every other respect he is a clone of his Dad!
When I was pregnant with Master 1, I really hoped that my DNA would finally stand up for itself. It did - he looks a little more like me. Everyone sees something different with Master 1 - those who knew me as a baby think he looks like me and those that knew Mr Jones as a baby think he looks like him. But I am claiming it! Its funny though, the two boys still look very much like brothers.
At the end of the day, it doesn't matter at all does it? I love that Master 3 is so like his Daddy, watching the two of them together with their cheeky grins and quirky mannerisms.
But I also love the feeling when people look at Master 1 and say "Gee, he looks like you"! FINALLY! Hahaha!
Who do your children look like? Are they dead ringers for you? A mix? or like me, have you lucked out?!
