Copycat and Big Accomplishment

I think we have begun the Copycat stage.

Matt and I now need to be very conscious about the things we do and say.

It started with simply trying to stand the way we do or do what we do...

Like folding her arms.

Lately she's been talking up a storm too.

And just by listening to her you know she knows exactly what she's saying.

She looks you directly in the eyes and everything when she's saying it.

She's jabbering when she 'reads' her books on her own.

And she's beginning to try to say more things when we ask her too.

The Big Accomplishment to hit our home this past week is:

(drum roll, please)

The word PLEASE!!!

We have been trying what seems like forever to get her to stop whining and use the word please,

we know she can say it

We've heard it before and she says it at nana's house.

Well, we got the whole kit and caboodle now.
Not only does she finally ask please (it's really just 'ssssss'), but she rubs her chest too (sign language).
