Monkey see, Monkey do

It's quite amazing what our kids pick up from us. Maleia's favorite words are "bummer" and "darn it." Haley puts her hands on her hips and points her finger. (Brandon!! jk) Okay, totally me. Maleia will put all her dolls in timeout and tell them that they can't get out of timeout until "they are good 'zamples." (That's what I say to Haley.) Haley gives the mom look at Brandon when she doesn't like what he is doing. (Sorry Brandon) It's always a riot to watch them play "mother and baby." Haley told Maleia the other day that she "can't do anything until you eat your da-gusting vegtables." It's bitter sweet when you vent to your parents what your kids are doing because most of the time they either just laugh, tell you that reminds them of you, or say, "hmm, sounds familiar," and laugh some more. That's not fair! I'm looking for sympathy, not a symphony of laughter.
