Imitation

It is easy to be a grown up. Here is my strategy - Imitate the big people all the time. Lo and behold you are a BIG girl :)
Getting some water - Grab a glass and go near the filter and hit it hard. Still to figure out what the big people do to get the water flowing. But this is good enough for them to admire my effort.

Watering plants - Take the watering can and turn it up side down near each of the plant pots. I have become so good that ammA follows me around copying what I do everyday.

Nodding head - Learning from a online class is so easy. All you have to do is sit before the computer and keep nodding. I think I am a better student as my nods are big and frequent than ammA's.

Speaking over phone - This is a baby's old adult imitation trick. It has become so essential that pediatricians should consider adding it to the questionnaire on milestones :) I love running to the phone and compelling the adults to pick it up when it rings :)

Using some fancy words - Just like the older people do, I use some the only fun word I know - "plaapits" (which is what planets sound like when I say it 0:)

Even though I try to copy, being a baby and showing my puppy face helps me get out of trouble. When I say "Aagee, aagee" (meaning huggie:) I get pampered and hugged. Hmmm.. becoming a big girl is over rated afterall.

Here is how I make a compelling request to be hugged and carried :) Even though I sound like an alarm, it is considered cute! One of the many perks of being a baby.
