she has my nose and my toes!

I don’t know why exactly this makes me so happy, but I’m finding there is something really awesome about handing down distinctly recognizable body parts to my girl child.  All the personality and rearing that I pass on will be hers and and a labor of my love, but somehow less obvious.  But this nose, those toes are clearly mine, given in gift.   And one day I’m going to be able to say,“Your nose, honey (for better or for worse) is a gift straight from your Mama, and it came from her Mama!”
