Our little colab
Violet is somehow a combination of the two of us, but also her own person. a very determined one at that.
A year ago today I posted a pretty bland set of photos on Instagram saying:
This isn’t new to anyone. But it makes me smile that Violet is basically a little combo of Elsie and me.
Facebook reminded me of the post and it made me smile. It also made me think more about our little collaboration.
Again none of this is new to anyone really and certainly to parents. My throw-away comment was right last year, but not so much now, as she has grown.
In terms of looks, I think she really is a blend. But in terms of personality, that is just too simplistic. I sometimes see bits of Elsie, but Violet is more than the sum of her parts, she was two in April and has her own personality. There are elements of this that are not like either us. She is strong-willed and bulshy, she is far louder than either of us. But I think that is a good thing you don't want a mini-me.
