The joy of a 3 year old (or almost 3 year old)! This morning, Kate was sitting on the bathroom counter when Joe came in with Zach. She saw him without a shirt on, pointed at his left elbow and said "That's the daddy elbow", then pointed to his right elbow and said "That's the baby elbow".*
I have been wondering if, and when, she'll really notice that her dad is different. So far, it's been amusing things. She'll be laying on the couch with me and complain that my arm is in her way, but she doesn't have that problem with Joe. Then again, I think it's easier to snuggle with him too.
As I think further ahead to those adolescent years, I sometimes worry that she'll be embarrassed about his arm. For now, I get to cherish the fun moments like we had this morning.
* Obviously you have to know us for this to make sense.

ok, this totally made me laugh and I remember back in the day i came into a math class(?) and sat down w/joe.. and someone else, sarah was it you? and i said oh that's cool! we're all left handed! and Joe pipes in "well, not by choice" DOH... i hope you'll never have to worry about it, people worth caring about don't notice anything different?
