Thursday 13: Silly Comparisons!

13 Ways Tessa Reminds me of Sasha!

A couple of our friends have mentioned how much Tessa reminds them of Sasha....
So, I decided to do a comparison, 13 of them to be exact!!

Sasha
Tessa

1. coloring... you cant see it here but they are both cream with black on their faces and white feet.
2. ear... of course Tessa wins size wise, but they are both sticking up!
3. lazy... I always knew Sasha was a couch potato, but Tessa even though she is a puppy, is the same way!
4. noises... they both sigh, Sasha use to sign like she was annoyed with everything (prob. was) Tessa does the same thing! HA!
5. boots... they both have nice white boots on, that way you can really tell if they have dug in the backyard!
6. sleeping... they both sleep in funny positions. Sasha was like a contortionist and Tessa is the same way.
7. treats... Oh that is a topic all dogs love!
8. stuffed toys... both LOVE them!
9. outside... only when you are!
10. Daddy's girl... they both LOVE their daddy!
11. kitty toys... whats the deal with dogs loving the little mice toys?
12. noses... both have really kissable wet noses.
13. loving... they both LOVE to cuddle and be loved on.

** Yes, I still talk about Sasha like she is still around, in heart of course... and she will always be!
Tessa has some HUGE shoes to fill and so far she is doing a GREAT job, she has fit right into this family and we love it! Maybe Sasha has a little to do with it??? We will never know! :)

Let me start by telling you a little about why I am doing this 13...
I couple of girl friends and I were in the car chatting about whatever, and I brought up this book.
My aunt got it for me before I had Travis and I read a little occasionally but there is a section that I love and wanted to share! There is a section about the Vocabulary of a mom.

What it asks is for you to define these words...
They way you answer will prove if you are a momma or not.
Silly but Fun!

So, I will write the words and you can pick a few to define as a comment if you would like. Then Friday I will post the yes, you are a momma answers and the doubt it answers!
sounds good... They are all pretty amusing!

So, here are the 13 words.
Define them with the first thing that comes to mind!

1. Binky
2. Nurse
3. Let Down
4. Braxton-Hicks
5. Dora
6. Wooden Spoon
7. Curfew
8. Breast Pump
9. Cradle Cap
10. Permit
11. Goodnight Moon
12. Aspirator
13. The pink stuff
