The Boss Lady

Meet the Boss Lady.  At only 18 months old, she is unbelievably cute with her slightly curly hair and pretty  eyes.  She dresses impeccably and always has perfectly matching shoes and of course, bows for her hair.  With adorable mannerisms and a run/strut that evokes laughter from all the grownups, she is happy being the center of attention.  As the only little lady among four older boy cousins, one would think this little princess struggles for her place in the rough and tough world of boys.  But don't be fooled people. This chick packs a punch.  And an ear-shattering squeal.  She is the boss of those four boys and she often sends them running in the opposite direction.  Little Jack is often on the receiving end of her bossiness.  And even though she obviously loves him very much, she really, really enjoys fussing at him.  A lot.  From the moment he graces her presence she lets him have it.  She watches his every move, chases after him with that deafening squeal and when she gets to him she lays into him.  With her finger in his face.  And an occasional shove.  And an occasional slap.  All with the cute shoes and matching bow still perfectly intact.  Watch her in action...

As the Boss Lady prepares to do a little sliding, she catches a glimpse of Jack, who, like always, is doing something she doesn't approve of.

As soon as her feet hit the ground the fussing begins.  And the pointing.

And then Jack makes a huge mistake.  He attempts to crawl up the slide that the Boss Lady has claimed as hers.  Bad decision, Jack.

After failing to stop him by hanging onto his shirt, she scales that slide, and is quickly on Jack's heels.  Fussing and squealing the whole way up.

He beats her to the top which really ticks off the Boss Lady and she sure lets him know it.

While fussing and finger pointing, she becomes distracted and Jacks sneaks down the slide alone.

Jack is all smiles after his escape.  The happiness is short lived. 

He runs over to climb up a bridge and soon realizes the Boss Lady is hot on his trail.  You can see the fear in his face.  "Oh, crap!" is written all over his face.

She lays into him again before he attempts to escape.  He gets away from her and walks away, searching for somewhere to hide.  But not before getting a swift kid in the butt with those cute little shoes.

She is a force to be reckoned with.  And poor Jack is always on the receiving in.  She is tough and spunky and insists that Jack behaves a she sees fit.  It's her way or no way.  She's the boss and you better not  forget it.
