I realize Mila and I do not share any biology but- I am often in awe of the things we have in common/traits that overlap.
1. She is very, very active! So am I! I can barely sit still - most days. When I have to do writing for work, I set a timer to force myself to sit for 45 minutes. Then after 45 minutes I can get up. Otherwise- I would be jumping out of my chair every 5 minutes. My mother is not alive but I would love to ask her what I was like as an infant/toddler. My guess is that I was busy, busy, busy!
2. Mila is a light napper and sleeps best with black out shades and background noise. I too am a very light sleeper. I typically sleep with ear plugs and eye shades. To be honest- I can hear Mila's cries through the ear plugs:)
3. She LOVES to be outside and so do I! Lately, she has been crying if we head inside from being outside and will bang on the screen door to go outside because she loves it so much. I love being outside too! Lately we have had really cold/rainy summer weather which has made it tough to be outside so much.
4. Mila is very adventurous and also very coordinated. She loves doing stairs and exploring new places/situations. I usually do pretty well balance wise on uneven surfaces (i.e., when hiking) and I love to explore new places.
5. Mila seems to like to travel. She loves to observe people and it seems like the airport is her favorite place. She just watches people.....oh and runs around. I love to travel! I love the excitement of traveling, I love to meet new people and I think airports are the most interesting places to observe behavior (realize - I am a psychologist by training).
Of course- there are several ways that we are not alike but overall- it's fun to find things in common with your adopted child! Similarities aside- I just love my girl!
