But not our Bo. When he was first born he didn't look like either of us. And as he grew older you couldn't say who he was like, with Bug and Bear there is no doubt. But Bo, he is just our Bo. Like no one else.
Over the past two years his differences from the other kids become more apparent. He loves to steal the spot light. Has never met a stranger. And is confident that everyone loves him.
I enjoy that I have a "little Jeff", and even though I don't like me and I love Kati just as she is (some how my personality doesn't seem so annoying on her), and I love that Bo is his own. I love that they are all different and unique.
But there is one thing that my Bo has that stands out to me the most right now. His beautiful coloring, which he certainly didn't get from me. And at times Jeff may seem to not be fair skinned but really you just have to look between all of the gorgeous freckles. My baby has the most beautiful tan and the summer has just started. I must admit I am jealous. I must share a story....
After spending a day outside I again noticed my pale beauties and his dark skin. I began kissing all over his arm calling him 'my sweet brown baby'. I asked, "Where did you get all of this beautiful brown skin?" His reply....
"Wal-Mart"
Check out that tan line!
