"Daddddyyyyy..." I heard and I flushed the toilet and began to wash my hands.
Isaiah's voice echoed through our bedroom on his baby monitor.
One day, we will feel confident enough to turn it off, I thought to myself. His voice was just as clear coming from his open bedroom one door down as it was on the monitor.
I open the door just as my husband swings his legs over his side of the bed and slowly walks toward Isaiah's room.
"Mooorrnning" He sings solemnly, emphasis on the "mourn" in morning.
Moments later as I pin my hair up for my shower, Isaiah comes running barefoot into our room.
"Good Morning, Pickle!" I exclaim. He beams.
"What happened to your socks?" I say, gesturing at his small barefeet nestled into our tan carpet. Isaiah looks down and then back at me.
"I don't know." He says puzzled.
"Richard, see if Isaiah's socks are in his bed..." I yell into the hallway, pretty sure Richard was still in Isaiah's room making up the bed.
I open the door to the bathroom and reach for my pink shower cap hugging the crook of the towel rack.
Just then, Isaiah scurries over, busting open the door and grabs the shower cap from my fingertips.
"Baby," I begin but not quick enough to stop him as all three foot tall of him rushes into the hallway. I follow behind just in time to see him pause and chuck my showercap down towards his brother's nursery.
"You'll never get it now." He yells. He looks at me his pink lips in a thin determined line, the corners of his lips slightly upturned revealing a small satisfied grin.
Confused, I shake my head in disbelief. Richard emerges from Isaiah's room with two little socks in his hand and looks from me to Isaiah to the discarded shower cap.
Then I get it.
"Swiper?" I say.
Isaiah nods, walks back into our bedroom and waits for us to get him dressed for his day. Richard and I collapse into silent giggles into the hallway walls.
Is my kid the only kid who got the wrong message from Swiper, the Fox on Dora The Explorer? lol

I've GOT to start watching Dora the Explorer again to see this Swiper. I wouldn't have known what Beanie was doing if you hadn't mentioned this - sounds like so much fun!!! Grandma's baby!
lmao!!! how funny!!!! i can just visualize it!
yeah, one of chase's favorite things is to take something he knows he shouldnt have and go tearing off as fast as he can (and he's pretty fast now, for a 1 year old). they must all be "reading" from the same manual. :-)
"How to drive Mommy and Daddy Crazy" lol. I know it well!
Of course you're going to swipe when you're the Swiper (along as the kids know to put the things they swipe back where they belong). Oh the joys of teachng the little ones! What a great way to start your day!
