The Napkin
Recently I was sitting at our kitchen table enjoying dinner with Jason and the girls when I found myself staring at my daughter in shock. It is nothing serious or bad but it is a habit that has now crossed from Didon (Jason's father) to Jason to Sofia. For those who knew Didon you know exactly what I'm talking about....the napkin folding!!! It caught my eye when I noticed Sofia folding her napkin over to wipe her mouth. She then proceeded to fold it a few more times and tuck it under the side of her plate. Does that sound familier???? I turned to see if Jason noticed only to see his napkin folded neatly under the side of his plate! For those who don't know how this plays out, it isn't just folding the napkin over once. It is folding the napkin over and over into a tiny square so that the entire thing will fit under the edge of your plate. Sofia hasn't quite mastered it well enough yet to get the entire thing under the side of her plate but I'm sure she will get there soon enough. So Grandpa Didon's fidgety-ness has passed all the way down to his grandchildren. It's good to know he lives on in his son and grandaughter!
