mini me

in recent days, quentin has been simultaneously driving me crazy and cracking me up: - he's really starting to mimic us and the things we say. he is always reprimanding the dogs for jumping and barking and the cat for being on the furniture. if he sees it before we do (or if we are just too busy to care about the pets and what they are doing) he gives us this look like, "aren't you going to yell at them? fine i'll do it." - i brought him into the room to put him down for his nap yesterday. caroline was already asleep in the crib in there. Q did not want to sleep so he threw a bunch of toys into the crib to wake up pickle. then, when she started to cry, he said, "no sister. don't cry. go to sleep. nap time." - earlier today he pointed to me and said, "mom, stay here. i drive grave digger to store. i'll be back. good bye."
