I’ve noticed every time I cough of late there is a little echo. A little fake cough follows mine. And if I laugh there’s a little laugh straight afterward.
We have a little mimic on our hands and it’s not just sounds. It’s actions too. You can shake your head, clap your hands, snort or sing and Lenny will do it too.
It’s actually hours of fun being able to direct him like this. Whenever he started any amusing habits in the past you just had to sit around waiting and hoping he’d do it again, which made showing his dad when he got home from work rather difficult. Now whenever there’s a new trick to show off I just have to do it first and then I can be confident he’ll demonstrate for the audience I’ve assembled.
I wonder how long this obedience will last?
