Hayden was sitting on my lap earlier as I sneaked in a few minutes of blog reading. This is not normally allowed but it's Sunday, gosh darn it, and lately my child has been experimenting with something called the '20 Minute Nap and 9 PM Bedtime', so I was (guiltily) but happily indulging.*
I was reading one of my favourite blogs - Gypsy Scholar - when Hayden spied a photo of Pope Benedict XVI. And gasped. And said "Nan-nee! Nan-eeee!".
WTF? The Pope looks nothing like my beautiful mother. Nothing! Although she is beatific. And I suppose my mom looks more like a Pope than a fridge - which is the last thing H mistook her for.
(I've included a photo - but I have to say - finding a photo of my mom, alone, facing the camera and/or not smothered by hordes of children and grandkids and admirers is HARD! Anyway, you get the picture (!). They don't look alike. AT ALL.)~
This reminded me of something similar Baby Ivo's mom blogged about a while ago, and it made me wonder about the things that must be going on inside my little girl's head. So much learning/ so much confusion! Perhaps it's a good thing she can't articulate better; she probably thinks I'm a cow or something.Magnet - gospel song
Have a good week!

Now, you'll need to post a photo of your mother to let us all compare...

Hayden sounds sooooo cute! I am so looking forward to my little one's toddlerhood.
I should have added: "Listen to your mother, especially when she speaks ex cathedra!"
Always check to see if she's seated when she speaks...

Your mother is quite lovely, even more radiant that the Pope (in my eyes), but she doesn't look anything like His Holiness. I guess that the resemblance must be in the Holy Grail that your mother is holding...

can i also say Hayden is sooooo cute!!! i live in thailand (too hot for you?)with my (korean) bf. and enjoy reading your blog!
Speaking of being too busy at work, I finally got a chance to catch up a bit on my blog reading.
I can't believe your pregnancy/labor/baby story! Unbelievable!! Though it sounds like she's making up for it now. Crazy fun.
And your Mom bears no resemblance to the Pope. However, as they say, "all white people look alike". ;-)
