Eric is always mimicking anything that Mommy and I do. This we expected. Some times we regret saying or doing something when he copies us, and other times he is just so darn cute! This time is one of the latter.
It was during the days after Christmas while I was off work. We were painting the master bedroom and replacing the closet fixtures. The floor of the office was piled with stuff that had been moved out of the bedroom and removed from the closets. As a result, I was unable to get my desk chair over in front of my desk, so I sat on Mommy’s exercise ball. Eric thought this was funny. He often played on it with Mommy or I holding him up while we bounced him on the ball.
Eric of course tried to copy this by sitting on his ball. He was not quite tall enough to straddle it completely, and he was not successful. Oh well. He really likes sitting in my lap while I sit at the computer. I usually bounce a little while he sits.
Recently, he has finally been able to sit on his ball. Today, I captured him on film sitting on his ball and reading a book.
I also have a couple new videos on his website.
