It's quite flattering how much Audrey seems to admire Eric and I. Wants to be just like us. She'll point to try to get whatever is on our plate, even after she has just pushed away the exact same meal from her own. It just looks better if it's something involving us. She'll take a drink when I take a drink at lunch, say AHHHHH! after a sip of water if we do. She wants to spread mulch, pull weeds, and fold laundry.
The other night, she saw my shoes on the living room floor. I thought for sure that she would bring them over to the stairs (where she brings her dad's shoes to help clean up!), but instead, she tried to try on one of them. Such effort it took to get one on, needing some help from me to get it positioned just the way she wanted it. The grin she had when she realized she had on my shoes! (And how funny it was for her to see me "try on" her shoe!).
It's so flattering how much she looks up to us. I know that there will be times that she does not look up to us so much (or at all), but for now, we'll just enjoy our little mirror-image.
