The "VIVAJAKE" Monster

Exhibit 1:


2 toddlers. Quite cute, right?

Appearances are, as often is true, deceiving. Bentley often refers to the twins simple as "vivajake". As in No, Vivajake! Mine, Vivajake! Stop, Vivajake!

Double the babies is at least triple the trouble, and from the perspective of my toddler it's an even larger exponential order of trouble. He has to save his toys from not one fast toddler, but two super fast toddlers. This may not sound like a big deal but when you're fending off one and the other comes at you, and you get away only to find the 1st one is back... it's a rough life! Protecting his cars (he hides them behind the couch pillows),

keeping his favorite blanket safe from grasping inquiring hands, saving books they want to chew on, and trying to maintain some order to the toys (Bentley enjoys order) is a very challenging task now that our Viva and Jake are on the go, go, go.

I have to admit I've taken to Bentley's label and sometimes even appended monster onto the end of it. Working in concert the vivajake certainly keeps me hopping. :-) We'll close with shots of crazy grin girl and alien Jake!

The alien Jake picture is priceless!

Good luck Bentley on protecting your toys; it has to be hard work.
