Monkey See, Monkey Do

I'm often amazed at how my child is like a little sponge. He soaks everything up. It's fascinating. We've danced every day since he was born, and now he will bust out in a dance at just about anytime he can. I've often told Michael that we need to be very careful of the verbal and nonverbal messages we send, because Noah sees and understands more than we realize. Here Noah is followng in Mommy's body language (minus the naked part) dancing it out.

Here Noah is modeling Michael's body language. Michael changed from having his arms crossed & closed (which I've often told him is a negative body language, as it appears defensive and closed off) to doing this after he saw Noah model him (as pictured below).

Noah modeling Daddy's crossed arms. Monkey see, Monkey do!

We'll pay closer attention to what body language messages we send out after seeing this!:)
