YES, SHE'S MINE!
My sweet C is always and I mean always getting asked or questioned if she is part of our family. Anytime I am out with the kids minus Jeff, which is just about always. And even in her own home she gets asked. (People think she is the friend visiting! :) ) Anyhow, C is so great, she just takes it in strides. I am usually the one being asked (in front of her) who she is and then after they leave she says
"Mom, they thought I was the friend.." When we are out as a family people think we are a blended family until I tell them that E & C are twins. Which always surprises them. So- thanks to our smart Papa, (or Smart-Alic papa) I think we are going to take on a new strategy... and mess w/ some people a little bit..Like - we say something like:
"well, she's adopted and is just starting to feel like part of the family, so it'd be nice if you didn't remind her..! "
Wouldn't that be funny! Could you imagine the looks on the peoples faces if we said that. It can be a little insensitive to say the things they say to her or me w/in earshot of her. She even wished so bad that Lil'C would have blond hair and blue eyes. The other day she told me she wished she had brown hair. It isn't that BIG of a deal most of the time but this past week she got asked more than a few times.

For once I agree with one of Papa's smarty pants remarks... It is really very rude and not just a little insensitive of anyone to say such a thing.. Hope I never hear anyone say it to her.
I'm afraid we're going to start getting this with Zoe.... she's still pretty bald, so you can't really tell what color her hair is, but what little she has is looking really blonde. And NONE of the rest of us have blonde hair or blue eyes. Maybe I'll dye mine blonde again so she'll look more like she belongs to me! ;) And I probably won't be so nice if someone makes a rude comment!!
