Mimic

If you ever are curious how others perceive you, borrow a child! Robbie clearly picks up on more than we think...and it is so cute. The other day, for example, Rob came down the stairs wearing the most hideous bright yellow shorts (they are comfortable apparently). Well, Little Robbie didn't miss a beat. He got a huge smile on his face, almost laughing and said, "Dad, what are you doing?" Must have gotten that one from me.... Today he was playing on my bed and decided to pretend he was asleep. "I'm asleep," he said and started imitating a snore. Then he popped his head up and said, "I'm awake." I smiled and said, "That was a short nap." He simply responded, "Yeah, I have a test." That one is all Rob's. My favorite, though, is to see how he treats Ty. When Ty is doing tummy time and starts to fuss, Robbie rushed to him and whispers to his face, always stroking the side of Ty's head, "It's okay, Ty. It's okay baby. I got you." My heart melts every time.
