Show me your Ticos!

AJ is our puppet. We tell him to jump, he jumps. He'll repeat anything you ask him to say (be careful), dance the 'Meaty Meat' dance on command, and is always ready to make us laugh. His patience is short, but so is his statue and we love him despite repeating "All done Mommy" and "More Chex please" like a broken record at the dinner table.

The boys enjoy Dora (AJ especially likes "Diego - Go!") but for fun Ben decided to nickname each person in the family after a Dora character. I think he got everything spot on.

Mommy (Lisa) is "Isa" for obvious reasons. Namely, the name.

Daddy (Seth) is "Swiper" - since he is clearly the villain in this series ;-)

Ben is "Benny the Bull" - again for obvious reasons pertaining to the name. (If only I could have found an image of Benny the Bull punching Tico and writhing around on the floor in a temper tantrum we'd be set).

And AJ is none other than our little "Tico".

We think the resembelance is striking! And thus "Show me your Ticos" was invented to have AJ give us his biggest cheese smile.
