Mini Me

Had a look at my own baby photo yesterday... my daughter does indeed look almost exactly like I did when I was a baby! It was almost disconcerting, to tell the truth. I had produced my very own 'mini me'! The resemblence is uncanny if I may say so myself.

Where will the similarities end though? I was kind of hoping my daughter would turn out far prettier than me! If she looks like me when I was a baby, will she look like me as she grows up too?

One of Shakespeare's sonnets come to mind here :
Sonnet #3 (addressed to an unidentified young man)

"Thou art thy mother's glass, and she in thee
Calls back the lovely April of her prime"

Amazing, Shakespeare's lines, written 600 years ago, still as relevant today as ever, holding resonance for us in the different stages of our lives!
