Two Little Monkeys Jumpin on the Bed

One of Lennon and Mia's new favorite activities together is jumping on the twin mattresses that are in his room.  He obviously cannot really jump quite yet, but he sure tries.  He does a combination of awkwardly bending his knees and doing this funny step-step move with his feet.  It's pretty funny to watch.  I tried getting a video today, but he had stopped by the time I got the camera ready.  They are having more and more fun together.  Mia is coming to the end of her two week trail for karate so now we are going to have to decide if we sign her up for a whole year or six months.  She is loving it and says if she had to choose between karate and gymnastics she would choose karate.  Pretty crazy because she loves gymnastics.  Lennon fell at the park today and smacked his mouth on the ground.  It was pretty awful.  He was screaming and pointing at the ground where he fell as if he wanted it to be punished.  His mouth was bleeding and he was really upset.  Luckily, Bianca was there with us and so he calmed back down and went on ahead playing with her.  They are so cute together, but they are starting to fight more.  She's almost two and doesn't really like to share and he doesn't understand the concept of sharing really.  If you tell him to give something back or hand you something he sort of holds it out to you and then as soon as you reach for it he pulls his hand back and goes off in the other direction.  Similar to when I say "no Lennon don't put that in your mouth!"  and he shoves the contraband into his mouth and goes running the other direction.  He definitely understands no, but doesn't quite care yet.  Boys are definitely different than girls.
