Imitation...

... is the sincerest form of flattery.

 

A scene from our house today:

 

Julia is playing with a doctor's kit ($2 garage sale score!).  She asks me to take her blood pressure, so I affix the cuff to her arm, and we are interrupted by the phone ringing.  I say, "I'll be right back.  I need to get the phone."

 

I go answer the phone and am back promptly.  We check Julia's blood pressure, heart beat, etc.

Julia then takes the cuff and affixes it to my arm.  And here is where the sweetness begins.  She says, "Mommy.  Be Back.  I get phone."

 

She runs off to the kitchen and I can hear her chattering to no one, then she runs back and says, "Okay, I back."  She checks my blood pressure, heart beat, etc.

Too. Sweet.
