She is much more organized and motivated and much more high energy than I am, but I recognize a lot of myself in her too. Her need to confess and have "deep" emotional conversations, her desire to be noticed and her subsequent discomfort when she is, her love of fantasy and romance, her pull toward small children and her caretaking instincts, her CONSTANT TALKING ....oh so many things. Kristin and I have often said it is the kid most like us in our own families that we have the most difficulty with. They are the ones we recognize and we see their weaknesses magnified by our recognition. It is a struggle...but a joy too.
