It's always amazing to me when I realize how much like sponges little children are. I've heard about that fact, known that you have to be careful about what you say and do around children for what they might pick up, but it's always crazy to me to actually see it put into action.
I have a heart monitor that I rented and have been listening to for the past month and a half, and Micah has started picking up on the fact that this machine emits the heartbeat of a baby. He watches me put the gel on my belly, and will run over and say "baby?" when seeing either the machine or the gel, or actually hearing the heartbeat coming through the machine.
Today, I noticed that he actually started to pretend he was putting gel on his own tummy. He had found a tube of hand lotion and began pulling up his shirt. Soooo cute:) The video is even more humorous to me because he can actually see himself on the screen (I took this from my phone and couldn't see myself what I was doing, therefore the off centered screen) and he is clearly enamored with what he's seeing. I had heard from friends about kids emulating nursing their baby brother or sister, or pretending to throw up in the toilet (as morning sickness ensues their mom) but had yet to see Micah do something of that nature until today.
Kids are so cute and so impressionable!
