JJ is quick. If you're about to catch him opening up the fridge, or lifting up the toilet seat, or opening a snack, he'll see/hear you coming turn around to the object and shake everything about as much as possible before he is snatched and put on time-out for an hour (or sternly reprimanded).
Oli also enjoys replying to others in 3rd person. "No, Oliver doesn't want that, okay?" Or "Oliver wants to sit in Oli's chair." Funny thing is, he usually only uses 3rd person to others and not ourselves, another thing we often hear from the other room: "No, JJ I said No!" Followed by a Jage scream or cry.
In fairness to Jage, he often beats Oli by taking an object whilst turning and takes off running. He isn't afraid of the size difference and Oli often chooses to complain to me rather then step up and sit on him...hundreds of dollars wasted on that toddler boxing class.
Oliver was able to catch a ball before one, today he can do various athletic things, including diving into a pool which shocked me today (Aug 17). JJ has always been a jumper/hopper to music. He loves bubble guppies and that's about when we noticed the difference, JJ and Oli both sing, but Oli only just started. JJ sings (sounds bad) and dances (really cute) all the time. Gnomeo and Juliet really got Jage pumped, and gets embarrassed now because he knows we're watching (a secondary characteristic developed during toddlerhood-he's not an infant anymore...sad). "Yes" is his word of the day.
Today was $1.00 bowling night. With bumpers up, Oliver beat Ally 103 to 102. Ally got serious at the end and needed 2 strikes and to make it close, she got 2 strikes in the 10th, Oli was on his knees hoping she'd fall. Her third throw was just off the mark and needed 1 more pin then she got. Revenge is set for next wednesday.
