Imitation Is The Way Of Life

Miss D is all in to imitation.Anything and everything that one of us do, is bound to be repeated by the little monster.She seems to know very well what happens during a diaper change.I lay her down and take a wet wipe and start cleaning,and if she spots a piece of paper or a wipe she picks it up and starts wiping herself.She loves to run in to the bathroom,which I try to keep closed all the time,while in there tears the toilet paper and nicely drops it in to the toilet.All this is OK and I can see the good that she is learning from it.

This is a tricky one-I am not sure if I should be teaching her to throw stuff in the trash.You know where this is going right........she has thrown her hair clip, some papers which were not trash, her pretty flowery hat and the worst(or the best,what ever way you want to take it) is a silver bowl which I use for pooja! I have caught her in the act every time, so was able to save most of it. Not sure what has gone in there with out my knowledge. I was imagining what would happen if she throws something important, like car keys with which she plays often, or cell phone(well, at least you can call and if you are lucky, hear it ring).Well, the important thing to remember when something is misplaced-look in the trash and I can imagine what an interesting and hygienic experience that would be!!!

She was on her high chair and dropped something and I said 'Oh Oh' and the expression stayed in her mind.Then she would drop something by mistake and say 'oh oh' and this happened a few times.Again on the high chair,she had a few things on her table and a napkin in her hand and said 'oh oh' and I did not notice her dropping anything on the floor and wondered why she said that.After a split second she has a grin on her face and drops the napkin that she was holding !

These kids are way ahead than what we think and things they learn is etched in their minds forever and they can make it work the way they want it to,depending on the situation.I can not stop, but tell the people I am close to every little thing she does and says.Sometimes I feel they may not want to hear everything that I have to say, but the 'mom' in me can't keep to myself the most adorable antics of my little Miss D.

:) So true. The peapod just throws it off the balcony and its days before we realize something is missing.
