gOoFy BoYs!

I expect craziness from a three and a half year old but I didn't expect my fourteen month old to follow suit!


Luke has recently given up the "t-rex" persona for now and has switched to a robot. he glued all the "buttons" on the box himself. he completed his ensemble with some pink goggles which he wears wrong side out! I must say its a nice switch from the t-rex screams and stomps. He just walks around and says "i am a robot - i am a robot" and the occasionally request to push the buttons after which he performs some stunt.

Now, Jesse has his own "robot hat" which he loves running around in with Luke! and boy can he run FAST! he is trucking it, considering Luke wasn't even WALKING at 14 mos! Jesse has also gotten lots of kudos via my Facebook account for his death-defying superman slide! check out this video!

The other stunts Luke's doing these days seem to be re-enacting the circus. he spreads a multi-colored blanket on the floor beneath our plastic slide in the den, stands at the top of the slide and says "Ladies and Gentleman, Boys and girls, children of all ages - Luke the magnificent!" then he runs down the slide and jumps off the end and lands on the blanket and says "Ta-dah!"

Luke is eating me out of house and home these days! Not only does he ask for seconds and thirds at meal times, he is snacking throughout the day! Thank goodness he loves apples, bananas, oranges and strawberries - and BROCCOLI!

Jesse is another story. He will not eat anything that is not a meat or bread. He will occasionally eat diced peaches or bananas. but I found out recently that he likes black beans. He eats EVERYTHING with his fingers -mealtimes are SO MESSY! I sweep and mop the kitchen three times a day! He will climb everything and I have found him sitting in the bathroom sink and sitting on the kitchen table! Its getting harder and harder to put things "out of his reach".

Jesse loves gym equipment. We recently went to a birthday party at the park and Jesse was a terror! The plastic slide in our den has never gotten so much use! I've also included a picture of Jesse immensely enjoying an "Ice Cream Cone Cupcake".

We recently had our cousin, Sylvie, over for a little while so her parents could have a date. Sylvie will be two this month and she and Jesse were two peas in a pod. She made sure he always had his drink with him, helped him up when he fell down and picked up anything he spilled. He patted her hair and followed her around like a puppy! We hope to do it again soon!

Thanks for "tuning in". I will try to post more as situations arise!
