Siblings
I thought a lot about when we talked about younger siblings or younger children mimicking older people. My little sisters are always trying to be like me. It used to drive me crazy but now I think it's super cute. Just this weekend when I was home I was wearing sunglasses outside and when I came back in I slid them up onto the top of my head. I didn't even realize what I had done until 2 of my little sisters came upstairs with their little sunglasses placed on their heads like mine. I also noticed the other day when my family came up to Lincoln to go shopping. They all got swimsuits because they have to go stay in a hotel soon, but my mom didn't want them to have bikinis so they all used the excuse "but Becky has one!" I was also thinking about how we talked about what we wanted to be when we grew up and I just thought I would add that I always wanted to be a aviarian (bird doctor as I called it) until everyone in middle school started making fun of me. I was/am an animal lover but I also love children so I'm happy where I'm at but can't help but wonder if I would have stuck with it if I wasn't made fun of?!

I can totally relate too! I have a little sister who is 10 years younger than me and my mom and I are always saying how she is trying to act my age. I know she looks up to me a lot so that is something I try to be concious of especially the language I use and clothing I wear and such. I always thought it would be fun to get into the big brothers big sisters organization (and I still might someday) but I have my own little sister to mentor. And it's funny how well they remember things too because a few weeks ago when I first heard about the Hannah Montana movie that is coming out I told my little sister that we should have a girls night out (GNO is how she always says it) and just the other day she was like "Michaela, are you gonna take me to see the Hannah Montana movie this weekend? It comes out on Friday." So, I have a promise to keep now:) It'll be fun though:)
I really agree with you both that children tend to mimmick what we do or try to act our age sometime. I don't remember if I had done something similar when I was a child but my brother told me this really cute story that happen last month when he just got marry and they were visiting my uncle house. My cousin little girl really like my sister in law so she follow her everywhere and ask for everything she has. She want to paint her nail with flower when she hold my sister in law hand. She also use a rubber band to put it around her ankle as a substitute of the real anklet my sister in law had.
