Swiper, No Swiping!

Juders, you follow Mommy around the house like a little duckling :)  Everywhere I go, you are right behind me.  I don't know how many times Mommy knocked you on your bum today because you were following so close behind (plus Mommy has a huge rear these days).  Bodhi, you are Ms. Independent, you do your own thing and occassionally check to see what everyone else is doing.  You were once a little follower too, but not as much as your Bubba.   Plus, I think you followed your Daddy around moreso than Momma.

Bodhi, we can tell you "no," and you listen, we ask you to do something, and you do it.  You're just easy, and compared to your brother at his age, you were so so so much easier :)  Jude man,   Mommy and Daddy have started referring to you as the little terrorist.  You rarely listen, you get into everything, you climb everything, you are so rough, and you will destroy anything within reach, there is no rest when you are awake :)  Aunt Ti says it's just a difference between boys and girls.  She assures Mommy that once you become a teenager, Jude, the tables will turn, and your sister will be the handful :)  Mommy always thought the only difference between boys and girls (besides the obvious) was mostly due to how children are raised.... WRONG, WRONG, WRONG!  Boys and girls are just different!  I'm not dismissing the whole birth order thing either, I think birth order can be attributed to some of the differences I see in you two.  However, Aunt Ti has three and the differences Mommy notices and questions, she attributes to gender and not so much personality or birth order :)  I think I've mentioned this before is a prior post, but  I'm just absolutely fascinated by the differences and thought I'd mention it again! 

Anyway, we had a good day.  You two wore your pajama's all day long.  It was rainy and nasty out, so I thought it was a good day to not get dressed, plus I had all the laundry done, including ironing, so I thought why waste an outfit, you guys aren't going anywhere hee/hee :)  You two played downstairs the entire day.  Mommy and Daddy have been frantically trying to de-clutter, organize, and get small tasks accomplished.   Juder's Mommy had the task of keeping you safe all day while Daddy locked himself in his office (the biggest mess of the house)... and supervising you is definitely a full time duty.  So, needless to say, I didn't get everything I wanted to get accomplished, accomplished, but some progress was made though :)  Mommy also backslided on the nursing you.  You were nursed at nap time and at bedtime, there was just no way around it, well,  aside from you crying your little heart out, and snotting everywhere.  GiGi, Gi-Pa, Sister Kelly, and Brother Governor, all stopped by briefly today too.  Bodhi, GiGi and Gi-Pa bought you several pieces of "little girl jewarly," including a Dora the Explorer watch.  Buddha, you got a hand carved wood train :)  You tried swiping Sis' jewelry, but she wouldn't let you have it :)  Like the cartoon, either Dora or Diego, Mommy and Daddy kept telling you "Swiper no swiping."  Bodhi, Mommy bought you your first purse yesterday, Bubba tried swiping that too!  Swiper no Swiping! 

Look at all the bling bling!

"Ummmm Mom, I think there is an intruder in the cabinet." -- Mr. Murff

It's Bodhi! 
Bodhi, I think you got tired of hearing Momma say, "Bubba no no, get out of the cabinet," so you thought you'd surprise Bubba the next time he went to get into some trouble hee/hee

"I'm hilarious!"

Buddha watching Bodhi play with one of his toys hee/hee  You know what came next... Bubba swiped it!
