Our son, the chatterbox. He repeats nearly everything we say.
Last night while I was rubbing lotion on him, I said, “Is mommy giving you a baby massage?”
He looked up at me from the changing table and said, “Mah-sah-juh!”
After my eyebrows came down to a normal level, I told him I would put his pajamas on. He looked at me and said, “PA-chameez!”
We live in constant amazement, and have lots of laughs as he mimics our language.
But the funniest moment was a week ago…
Typically, if I need something, maybe a fresh diaper or pair of socks, I will call from the top of the stairs. It’s a bad habit, I know. My DH actually hates it when I do this. But because he loves me so much, when I stand at the top of the stairs and yell, “Honey? Honey, can you send up a diaper?” my dear hubby will toss a diaper up, or whatever.
I was upstairs with my son, and he wanted to go downstairs. So I said, “Call Daddy to take you down.”
He trotted over to the gate at the top of the stairs, and suddenly I hear him calling: “Huh-hney! Huh-hney?”
At first I didn’t realize what he was saying, but when I realized he was imitating me, I could not stop laughing!
It is so sweet to see how he pays attention to all we do and imitates our words and actions. I hope he always looks up to us. And that we always give him a good example to look up to.
How have you seen your children follow in your footsteps?

Oh, yes, my 2 year old does this. It's hysterical. He randomly called his daddy by his name a couple of times. So I started trying to make sure I called him Daddy, but then once I said, "Hey, babe," and my son started calling him babe. Guess there are worse things he could call him :)

So Cute and made me laugh! My son has started this too. He will put away my purse and diaper bag when we get home since he sees my do it each time. He now feeds the dog in the morning with my help since I have taken him to do it everyday. He learns so much seeing what do. He says Ahhhh after he sips a drink, I know now I do that when i have coffee in the morning, funny how kids will let you see your own habits.
