Imitation play

Date: Sept 2013.   Name: W

W was sitting in his exersaucer and I gave his some eggs to play with.  He looked at them then looked at me.  I smiled and picked one up and gave it to him.  I picked another one up and shook it.  W shook the one in his hand.  I sang "Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star" while I shook mine.  Soon W shook his too.  At the end of the song, I shook my shaker.  He shook his shaker. I shook my shaker.  He shook his shaker.  I smiled at him and he smiled at me.
