Genetics…Not

Sabrina is so affectionate. I don’t really understand where she could have gotten this trait as I am one of the least affectionate human beings on this earth. I was called “bato” remember? Sometimes when we’re out my bestfriend would hold my hand and at the back of my head my thought process would be “Oh shit, where do I put my other hand? Am I supposed to lean my head against her? Do I have to walk slowly?”…you catch my drift. So going back to my daughter. She’s so affectionate and I really can’t imagine how she ended up that way. Ruy is affectionate to me sometimes but it’s with effort. I know it’s not something that comes naturally to him so it’s definitely not genetic.

So it’s not genetic…I suppose it’s her exposure? Nature vs Nurture with nurture winning and influencing her personality a whole lot more.

Every morning when she wakes up she looks for me and says “Good morning Mommy!”. Then she will go to wherever I am and snuggle with me. She also snuggles with me at various points in the day. It drives me crazy (in a really good way) and my heart just melts over and over and over again.
