Monkey See, Monkey Do

I knew these days were coming, but it's fun to watch nevertheless...

Kaely plays on our bed, and decides to be "funny" and slide down head first to get off the bed. Chase follows suit a minute later (yes, I was there to catch him). Kaely grabs a hairbrush and sits down to brush her hair, Chase books it over to the drawer in the bathroom where my brushes and hair tools are. We answer the cell to chat with Dad, Chase grabs his toy phones, the remote controls, or my phone and subsequently answers "Hello" (imagine the voice of Astro from the Jetsons). Kaely eats an apple whole (without cutting into slices), so as soon as she leaves it sitting there, he snatches it and proceeds to tear into it.

I can only imagine what other behaviors we're going to witness- more often than not it's a reminder to censor our words and actions. What's cute in a toddler is often horrible in a 3-4 year old. Time is flying too fast!
