copy cats

so when i was growing up i noticed that April would copy me. looking back it is not like she cut her hair like mine and wanted to take my clothes but it just got under my skin. i remember mom telling me once in her way to kill the whole thing that i just had great ideas and that she admired me for that. well in these recent weeks i have noticed something around my house. makenzie who is three now is very independent and does what she wants. Ethan has a hard time keeping up but wants to be just like his older sister.

tonight for instance he came into the office and hoisted himself up in the chair, knelt down on the chair and then leaned over the desk and grabbed the mouse for the computer. he made guttural noises until cherisse came in and put on playhouse Disney for him. makenzie will navigate her way around the site coloring, playing games, learning html, and printing out pages to color. Ethan has noticed that she goes in and plays on the computer and so he wanted to follow her example. i foresee in the future i will have to answer that same question that i posed to mom long ago and i will have to come up with some answer. maybe makenzie will take it better than i did for all those years.
