Imitation Isn't So Bad

The word "imitation" has always had a bad reputation.  In some cases, I agree.  Imitation cheese as my husband recently learned...not so good.  However, my little one has hit the imitation stage and I just think it couldn't be any cuter!

My child is extremely stubborn in every way.  In fact, the other day I told her she had to say please in order to get another M&M and she walked away.  I have learned that it is much easier to get her to imitate us doing the right thing.  Or just anything at all.

My personal favorite is her mocking our standing positions.  Daddy likes to stand leaning against something with his feet crossed at the ankle.  This is now her favorite way to stand.

My second favorite imitation is how she leaves us.  Every time she walks out of the room she now says "Bye, Bye.  See ya!"  It's so cute that I smile every single time.  She is usually carrying a "purse" of some kind.

She is so stinking cute.  I hate all the times I have to actually say "Bye, bye.  See ya!" to my little mirror.
