Top 5: Ways that my Daughter is just like my Wife

1. Appearance: I know it's romantic to tell a loved one, "when God made you he threw away the mold." But when you look at the X-factor, you can tell that's not the case for Mrs. N. God kept that mold and reused it.
2. Passionate: X-factor, like Mrs. N., doesn't do anything halfway. When she has a task before her, all her emotional energy will be devoted to it.
3. Cute When Angry: I saw this on a t-shirt once. It would be perfect for Mrs N or X-Factor. If you smile when they're angry because you're thinking "how cute," they just get angrier, then you smile more, because they're cuter, then they get angrier, cuter, more smiles.... It's like a never ending spiral of conundrums.
   
4. Good Communicator: For those of you who read this blog, or Mrs N.'s other blog know, she has a way with words. X-factor is already showing signs of these same skills. When adults comment on how well spoken she is, my usual remark is, "she gets lots of practice because she talks nonstop."
   
5. If you tickle her, she will bite you: I discovered this the hard way recently. It reminded me why I have to be extra careful when tickling Mrs. N.
