Copy Cat

OK...another short post but we just had to share this. To everyone who does not think that a young child of 15 1/2 months is watching your every move, take a look at this!

Last Wednesday when I went to pick up Isabelle from Grandmama and Poppy's house, they were heading out to the Hollywood Bowl for the evening so when it came time to take Sam (my folks dog) for a walk, Isabelle and I decided to join them. Before we left the house, Grandmama told Isabelle to go and get a bag so we can go walk Sam. Isabelle went into their laundry room, opened the "trunk" (its a small wooden box that the bags are kept in), took a bag out and headed for the front door. We started walking down their street when all of a sudden Isabelle stops, bends down and swoops the bag across the grass...she was picking up invisible poop! We were dying! She has watched both Michael and I and Mom and Dad on several occasions picking up after the dogs and now thinks she should too! She did it several times on our walk, including trying to pick up weeds (pic below), and I was able to capture these two pictures of her on my cell phone before the bag had to be put to real use.

Just wait kiddo...you are going to hate this when you are old enough to have "chores".
