little monkey

For a while now Pepe has been into imitating whatever we or others say. Chris and I use "hon" or "baby" when talking to each other, so Pepe now calls us "Hon (Baby) can you come here, Hon, can I have a baba?" We still have a hard time restraining from having little arguments or discussions in front of Pepe (so tough to change a habit) , and he butts in and repeats what one of use said, "Yes, mommy, you need to turn the lights off", "Yes, daddy, we need to pain the porch...".

The boy is also bossy, and loves to be in charge. Like yesterday at Toys R Us, during my Pepe shift (Chris and I took 1/2 h shifts Toys R Us/Starbucks), at the train table, he bossed this 2 y old around telling him where his train needs to go, and making up Thomas stories. The boy loved it almost as much as Pepe. As soon as one of the adults said something, Pepe kept repeating, "Yes, the trains go over the bridge, Yes, be careful, Yes you need to go now".
