Monkey see, Monkey do

Poor Halli just can't catch a break. No matter what she does, even if it will bring no harm to her and she is fully capable to do whatever it is...she gets in trouble. She watches Peyton stand in the booth at dinner, but will get in trouble if she does it. She tries to leave the table from dinner too early and gets in trouble. She climbs over the seats in the car and gets in trouble, but not for the reason you may be thinking. You see, she has a little monkey that follows her wherever she goes.

Peyton is Halli's shadow these days. Whatever Halli does, Peyton does, and this isn't just the normal things you may be thinking of. Just today, Halli was playing in her kitchen and was "eating" a plastic strawberry. Somehow this strawberry got stuck in her mouth. She came running downstairs, screaming as best she could through the strawberry, and I helped her get it out. Peyton, seeing all this happen,picked up a plastic pancake, put it in her mouth and came running to me, acting like it was stuck. She was so happy when I finally released it from her jaws.

Later on, Halli was playing in my room and somehow cut the bottom of her foot. She came hopping out of the room and I told her to put a wet paper towel on it. When she hopped into the kitchen to take care of it, Peyton walked over to me, whining, sat down and pointed to the bottom of her foot, cause it hurt so bad! Then she stole Halli's towel and put it on her own "wounded" foot.

Lastly, right before bed, I was holding Lexie and she started smiling, Halli, seeing this had to hold her and see her smile at her. She asked to hold Lexie, and Peyton came and sat between us, and asked to hold her too.

It is so adorable watching Peyton mimick her older sis, but poor Halli is just going to get in even more trouble when she disobeys, cause now, her shadow is sure to do the naughty deed as well.
