Mi-Cro-Man-Age
So, in full disclosure, I have a tendency to be a little 'specific' on how I prefer things to be done around the house or with the boys sometimes. I will start to get a little 'bossy' as I am talking ...so Barrett says- I don't see it ;). For example, as Barrett is about to put take LJ upstairs as he does every night, I will tell him things like don't forget his night time diaper and to brush his teeth or which pajamas I want him to wear... To point out when I start getting a little too bossy , Barrett started quietly, almost under his breath, singing the word "micromanage".
We never really realized LJ was picking up on this, and then, one day when Barrett was out of town, I said "OK LJ, time to go upstairs and get ready for bed," to which he responded, "MICRO-Manage!" I cracked up- which in turn made LJ crack up! Well, LJ likes making us crack up!
So a few days later, when Barrett was back home, LJ started saying it as I told him to eat his food at the dinner table... Of course, Barrett thought it was hilarious, and we all got a good laugh. Here is a video from that dinner.
My favorite thing is how LJ (mini-me) copies the way his dad laughs exactly!! He throws his head back just like Barrett, and then hits the table like Barrett does when he laughs hard. It was so funny!
