Repeating and Mimicking

Welcome to my sub-forum for pretty much anything else. When I’m no longer sequestered by the bounds of institutional education, I find myself free to plot my diabolical schemes for world conquest. As they arise, I’ll post any thoughts I have here for the consumption of you my loyal subjects.

Feel free to start new topics of your own and reply to any existing ones.

Repeating and Mimicking

Post by mightymulhern »

Sydney is now picking up language quickly. The other day while playing with Meghan in the basement, she dumped something out on the floor and then exclaimed “Oh my god! It’s a pile.” Meghan explained that it wasn’t polite to say “Oh my god!” and asked Sydney where she had heard it. Sydney replied, “Mommy said it.” Oops. Since then I’ve caught both of us saying it.
Other new phrases that Sydney has picked up include:

I be right back
I be back in a minute
Just a minute
In a little while

The use of the word “too” – Like “Dad eat pancakes. I eat pancakes too”.

Sydney has also taken to trying to imitate Meghan. When sitting on the couch or laying on the floor, Sydney will attempt to position herself exactly the same way that Meghan is sitting/laying. Meghan shifts and then Sydney shifts.
