Jump, monkeys, jump!!!

The kiddos seem to think that we (me, their brothers, my mom...basically everyone) solely exists for their personal entertainment. They are too smart for their own good, too grown for their age...and absolutely awesome. They know the signs for "Dad", "eat", "more", "milk", "hug", "diaper"...and do it frequently. Ask them to do it on demand, ha, dream on. They will make you jump on your head with your leg wrapped around your neck while holding onto your nose, all while begging them to sign _____ (insert cute sign here). They will laugh their little butts off, but no signing. Then the second you stop jumping on your head and move on to doing something else (like answering a phone call) then they sign some cuteness like "hug Dad." My boys are too great. In their minds we are here for them and only them, how dare you not pay attention to for a split millisecond!

Either way, as soon as they start showing off their they know everyone will, once again, be focused on them. Jump, monkeys, jump!! They know we're wrapped around their tiny fingers, and take full advantage of that. Kar even has this adorable fake sneeze. Pretend you sneeze and he'll copy...but try getting him to do that on demand, no way Jose! Let him see me try to walk out the door though, he'll start his fake sneezing like crazy. And he won't let you forget that you had better clap for him or else....
