I have a little copy cat at home. WH will tags along JS and copy almost everything she does. Though he still can’t speak much words, but he certainly can copy each sound that JS made. He would copy her, when she dance, follow exactly the same movement, he would want to play the things JS’s playing, he would sit down and do writing and drawing when JS is doing so. He wants to sit together with JS the way she sat. Now that I buy things for the kids , I need to buy a pair so that they won’t fight. Even for clothings, if I buy a new one for JS, I would need to buy one for WH too. Sometimes he even go to JS’s drawer and pick some of JS’s cloth that he wants to try on.
Even for feeding medicine.. those chinese medicine with very strong smell, if I only gave it to WH, he would usually spit it out. If I feed JS first, then he would follow and finish off in one gulp.
When I’m bathing JS, he would also want to join in. The problem is when I do let him, he likes to touch his sister naked body. (actually he likes to touch everyone naked body… I wonder why… so young already so “hamsup” or just plain inquisitives)
All the time WH will look intensly, observing his sister and try to copy as much as possible. I guess it’s a process of learning. I haven’t notice these much during JS growing up phase, as I was working full time and also there isn’t any kids around the house that she can actually imitate. Now that looking at WH, it can be quite amusing to see him does all the little acts. Of course this sometimes irritates JS.
