It is amazing how much children see and how much they mimic our actions. Our granddaughter sees us taking a tissue and blowing our nose. She grabs anything including the hem of our clothing and makes the noise with her mouth. She then will wad up the receptor and throw it on the ground.
The one that got me yesterday had to do with the dishwasher. When I am through putting things in I will use my foot to raise the door up to old man stoop level. As I was pushing in the racks and getting help from the toddler I was ready to close the door when she raised up her foot under the edge. She didn’t catch the entire effect so she did not move the door but she was obviously doing what she had seen the monkey do.
Children watch us. I don’t think it ever stops even when they grow up. People watch us. We need to live like it makes a difference because it does.
