Mistaken Identity



Genevieve, my master mimic, can say just about anything you ask her to. Anything, that is, except her name. No Genevieve. No Viva. Nothing. She doesn't even try!

Jake & Bentley she has no problem with. Mommy, Daddy, Grandma, Opa, ... she has all those names down pat.

What's even odder? Whenever she sees herself in the mirror (often, as we struggle to do SOMETHING with her hair!) she points and says Jake. If you show her pictures that she's in she will often point and say Jake too.

Really? Is she not noticing all the pink, all the purple? All the cute skirts and dresses and hair bows? Does she really think she's just another Jake? :-) Must be some odd type of twin identity management issue...

That is funny! I wonder if Jake says Viva when he looks in the mirror? ;) Millikins still doesn't say her name either; maybe it's a weird girl thing?
