Thursday night I pulled out a stack of old photos to search for a cute baby pic of myself. We have to take them to work for some secret purpose (but I happen to know there is a surprise staff appreciation day next week and I'm sure these two pieces of information are connected.)Anyway, I found this photo of a 3-year-old me. But then at the last minute I found a better photo and this photo was left on the kitchen counter.
As all things on the counter do, this photo magically found its way to the kitchen floor by the next afternoon. Baby Zog picked it up, held it up to us and said, "That's Mommy!"
He has never seen this photo before and was asleep when I was rummaging through them the previous night.
I was speechless for a brief moment and finally congratulated him on his correct observation (and for being a kind boy and gently handing the photo back to me.) All Daddy could say was, "WOW!"
So now, I have to wonder: Is this how he sees me? Do we all look like toddlers in the eyes of an actual toddler? Does he see past the age on my face to the basic elements that are still buried there somewhere? So many questions.
Regardless, it was pretty cool that he knew it was me!

No, you just haven't changed a bit! You were a cutie and still are. That is funny he knew it was you.
It's funny how you chose to put this photo on the blog. When we received the new photos of Will in he mail - I told Ross how much Will looks like Jens every day. I then went to my family photo album and pulled out this "exact photo" of you to demonstrate my belief. Too cool! And YES... Will is very astute in his observations. Yep, he knows his Mama! He never ceases to amaze me in his brilliance. (Hey, you do look the same in many ways. Not a lot has changed. You "old" cutie you!) :-)
Plus Will is an uber genius!!!
Guess this is a big step up from the fat baby at the beach... :-)
