Crocodile Tears

Ladybug and I were in the living room tonight when Baby B was getting out of the tub. I heard laughing and talking and then what sort of sounded like crying. Crying? What's going on in there? I quietly walked down the hall to peek in the bathroom. Baby B was standing on the stool, looking in the mirror, PRETENDING TO CRY and making different faces while doing so. Watching her for a minute, I saw her get a bit of water on her hands to make tears, while moving from a little cry to a full-on sobfest. Eventually, she saw me in the hallway and started laughing. "What are you doing?" I asked. "I just wanted to see what I look like when I cry."

Is this her practice for her dramatic tween years?
