My Little Copy Cat

Colby has been sick for a while now, and he is not good at being sick. Some of my kids just lay around, asking for things when they need them, then others are needy, whiny, and relentless sickies!!! Colby would fall into the latter catagory! We are going on day 4 of nothing but whining, short choppy naps, and Chet out of town or busy with his calling. I am more than on edge! So I notice that Carter has a tooth barely hanging on. I told him that we needed to pull it. He is, however, a total wimp when it comes to these things. Chet gets all wiggly even thinking about pulling a tooth, and so my Little McCoy has aquired that traight. After pulling the tooth right out of his mouth he was whining and saying ouch and acting like a baby. I was just laughing at him and telling him to toughen up, it was all in his mind. Next thing I know, Colby is pulling on his teeth and saying "outs"  (for ouch) in his fake little whiny cry. I couldn't help but laugh!!! He was just doing exactly what Carter was, and wanting some attention for it! These little ones are so smart. They know how to work the system!!!
