Shadow

Today I noticed something that has actually been going on for a while, but for some reason today it was more pronounced. Or maybe because we were stuck inside on account of some nasty green stuff coming out of little noses, I was just paying closer attention to how the kids were acting. In between making some cookies, playing in the cornstarch and water table and planting a sprouted sweet totato (yes, totato), I noticed that Teigue has a complete and total shadow named Stella.

Everything that Teigue does, Jayno needs to do as well. Teigue makes cookies, Stella also needs to make cookies (they were delicious, too). Teigue sits, as does Stella. Sippy of hot cocoa on head, guess who else has a sippy of cocoa as a hat? It's so stinking cute (and I know that Teigue loves it as well) and so silly how she does every single thing that Teiguee does. It's so sweet how much she idolizes her brother, how much she absolutely loves him.

Good thing that Teigue is a good kid and she isn't learning any bad habits..
