For as long as I can remember, our 3yr old son Luke has been mimicking almost everything his big brother does and says. Some of the things he copies are things I am not so thrilled about him learning, such as hitting himself on the head and then laughing.
There is one thing Luke recently picked up from his brother that I am very impressed by. His big brother had developed a cough and through his school teacher's and our direction, he remembers most of the time to cough into his sleeve. Well, when Luke caught his brother's cold and developed a cough as well, he remembered to do as his big brother does.

This is a story I can definitely relate to. My son Juan tries to imitate his older brother in everything, especially in sports.
Problem is, Santi is 3.5 years older, much more coordinated, with a different body type, and he has a natural ability to play almost every sport more than decently.
So Juan ends being very frustrated...

I wish I could get my little guy to remember to cough in their elbows. My younger son just doesn't care to imitate his brother at all. Actively tries to be different from him, in fact.
