Monkey See

H is determined to be just like her big sister.  In fact, sometimes while the big kids are at school she asks me to call her by M's name.  She pretends she's in school and I am her teacher.  She pretends to go to choir practice and does "homework."  She'll even do M's chores if I let her. 

When M is home, H is busy mimicking about everything she does. These days H is repeating M's night time prayers almost verbatim....only where M says "...and thank you God for my whole family, especially my new baby sister J,"  H mistakenly repeats, "...and thank you God for my whole family, except for my new baby sister J."
