We just returned from vacation. One week at the Jersey Shore, just as we do every year. My girls are getting a bit older and were well behaved. I couldn't help but feel other people's eyes on us though. I wonder what they were thinking? Do they realize our youngest daughter looks nothing like us? Do they suspect she was adopted? Am I over-analyzing it? Probably!
My in laws were with us. Truthfully, we get less stares when my mother in law is with us. Our youngest somewhat resembles her and I think people assume our daughter looks like grandma.
I think about it too much. I really should learn to care less what others think or their reactions. There are lots of families who have biological children who happen to not look like the parents. I guess in time, I will be less in tune to others reactions and comments. I guess because she's so darn cute, she gets lots of attention, smiles and stares! I take that as a compliment!
