Mini Me?

Princess and I have a LOT in common - which is probably why we but heads so often.

We look a LOT alike . . . if not for the 70s background in the picture below (and my mother’s handy note-taking), I wouldn’t be able to tell who was me and who was Princess!

She’s very independent and stubborn, like me. She may also have a slight temper - I have no idea where she would have gotten that from

This past week, she was in my hobby room with me. She got down my softball scrapbook and was flipping through the pages (I love softball and played a few years in college). She got to a page with this photo on it and couldn’t believe it was me:

Yes, I was a catcher for many many many years and a gatrillion games. Princess had tons of questions and wanted to know about everything, especially if I could wear sparkly earrings while wearing the helmet. I said no and then explained to Princess why I loved catching so much and how much fun it was.

Today, we show up for her last baseball game and she begs Coach Tim to let her be the catcher. It’s a gazillion degrees out and nobody else wants to do it, so he says go ahead.

Another Mini Me moment in the making?

Maybe not . . .

But she does have 12 years to practice . . .
