Tu não me manda!

Josefine continues to be very bossy and repeats things I say for Kaio to do, like "tidy up", "put your shoes on", etc She imitates my tone of voice and gestures too! The funny thing it that most of the time, she has not done her part of cleaning or put on her shoes... One day Kaio said: "Tu não me manda" (you are not my boss or you don´t give me orders), which is clearly something he picked up at school. Surely, Josefine now uses that whenever Kaio says something to her. 
Kaio was playing nicely by himself today and she (as she does often) goes and starts bothering him (no, not playing along, really bothering him) and he asked for her to stop doing that. In one nanosecond she replies with a loud: "TU NÃO ME MANDA!!" Kaio and I had to laugh! At lunch she said the same thing when I told her to finish her plate....
This weekend we went to the launch of a fun children-cd. The kids had a blast! It was a small venue with lots of interaction. When the singers invited the kids to dance and sing, Josefine was the first one on stage and pretty much led the other kids around. Kaio, on the other hand, did not want to go on stage at first and only warmed up to it on the last song. We bought the CD and have been listening to it since. Josefine was singing along the next day and Kaio is more of a listener and asking questions about the lyrics.
