There’s a kind of magic in watching your children grow up and seeing pieces of yourself unfold in them, both the beautiful and the challenging. </p><p>We asked celebrity moms: “What’s something your child does that reminds you of yourself?” Their answers, compiled in this exclusive video, were as relatable as they were funny and endearing. </p><div><script data-wid="auto" type="text/javascript" src="https://content.viralize.tv/display/?zid=AAFz8gWM8iRADsJr&amp;cid=ABYsxNdTieaB2HUQ"></script></div><p>For Jennica Garcia, being a mom to her two daughters feels a lot like having two best friends. That’s why it comes as no surprise that they’ve picked up little pieces of her personality as they grow older. Jennica sees herself most in how &#x27;masinop&#x27; or organized her kids are, especially her eldest, Athena Mori, who’s particular about where things are placed. On top of that, since they often bond over arts and crafts, her daughters have also copied her love for stationery items. </p><p>Elisse Joson, meanwhile, is so charmed whenever she catches her own facial expressions in her daughter Felize, who’s now four years old. “&#x27;Pag nakikita ko, ‘Ay! That’s so me!’” Elisse laughed. She finds it super adorable, but jokingly admitted she’s not sure if she’ll still find it cute when Felize gets older. </p><p>Iza Calzado&#x27;s 2-year-old daughter, Deia Amihan, has a love for singing and dancing that not only reminds Iza of herself but also of her late father, the legendary dancer-choreographer Lito Calzado. &quot;It&#x27;s so endearing na talagang baliw na baliw ako sa ka-cute-an ng anak ko!&quot; she enthused. Iza also noticed how Deia’s wacky facial expressions mirror her own. But when Deia’s face turns serious, her Daddy Ben’s features become more prominent.</p><p>Angeline Quinto described her son, Sylvio, who just turned 3, as a little ball of energy. His makulit (mischievous) ways and tendency to constantly run out of the house bring back memories of her own childhood. &quot;Gano&#x27;n ako dati kaya pinagsasabihan ako ni Mama Bob tapos susunod lang ako sa kan&#x27;ya &#x27;pag may hawak na siyang walis tambo,&quot; she reminisced.</p><p>These mini-me moments are reminder that motherhood is full of sweet, sometimes hilarious, but always heartwarming surprises. So, here&#x27;s to all the moms out there raising little versions of themselves! </p><div><em>*Photos credit to Elisse Joson, Angeline Quinto, Jennica Garcia, Iza Calzado IG</em></div>
