Merryn adores Josie. Merryn's first word was "Hug" - one of Josie's top requests. Her first two-word phrase was "Night Night DoDo" (JoJo). And her first three-word phrase was "I love you" - another one of Josie's favorites. And to this day, Merryn's most frequently used word is "DoDo" - hands down!
They are attached at the hip and when Josie isn't around, Merryn is Miserable with a capital "M". Merryn always wakes up from nap first and all she does it ask for "DoDo? DoDo?" until Josie wakes up, at which point Merryn blazes down the hall into the nursery excitedly shrieking "DoDo! DoDo!" the whole way.
In true little sister form, whatever books, music, or activities Josie is into suddenly become Merryn's favorite. If Josie is wearing a bow, Merryn wants to wear a bow. If Josie wants to hear "Tik Tok," Merryn wants to hear "Tik Tok". If Josie wants to read "Brown Bear," Merryn wants to read "Brown Bear". And if Josie wants to have a tea party, then Merryn's the first person to issue the "Cheers!".
So it should come as no surprise that Merryn has developed a sudden zeal for dancing - seated dancing, that is. Oh and just wait until the end of the video when Josie gets praised for her walking...
Oh that is soooo cheeky. My boys are 16 months apart and the younger one idolises the older one... like Merryn, his first word was Ryan and constantly says "good job Ryan" whenever he does something we are trying to correct (ie eating dinner!)
