Xander seems to copy Tayla. Yep, the older one emulates the younger one. Is this weird?
Tayla says, "boop" (book) Xander says buh (for book when we all know he's more than capable of communicating).
Tayla does the sign for "more" Xander does the sign when he wants more.
Tayla tears pages of her books, Xander tears pages of her books.
Tayla throws stuff down the stairs, Xander throws stuff down the stairs.
Tayla throws toys in the garbage, Xander throws more toys in the garbage.
Tayla grabs her blanket out of her crib to snuggle with, Xander takes one of her blankets to snuggle.
The list goes on and on! I rarely see Tayla copy anything Xander does. It seems to be the other way around. And not all of those copies are desirable. It feels like I have two babies now.
The problem: I can't 'baby proof' stuff because Xander can help out when it comes to that. As a team they can create all sorts of mischief. Xander can climb, open doors and all my child safety locks on the cupboards. Once he gives her access to these forbiddens, Tayla orchestrates all the plots to destroy and dispose of! Together they are TROUBLE!
Tayla learns lots of stuff from the boy. Like most of her words are all words that Xander says a lot. Not an accident. She learns a lot.
