Finally a post in 2009
Wednesday, September 9th, 2009because aaron posted new video of our little adventurer…i noticed that i have not blogged in an entire year. i haven’t finished his baby book either, so i guess anything written or noted will be something. as you can see from the video, we have a very curious and fearless boy on our hands. shockingly, he has not yet had to go to the emergency department–and for that, i am most grateful. when jack is not digging in the dirt, or looking for bugs and other animals, he is climbing, jumping and running from point A to point B. i haven’t seen him walk in a year, unless of course you actually want him to move faster. this morning he was singing one of his made up songs in the car on the way to school…it went something like this “oh and the dinosaurs lived long agoooooooo….” and then he adds parts of books that he remembers, like the going to bed book. he is so funny. and stubborn. and determined. and he is the most loving child…sweet and gentle. but also frustratingly independent….he HAS to do everything himself–and he will even tell you how to say something–like this morning i said “does that doggie talk?” and he replied: “NO mommy…the doggie SPEAKS”. excuse me. geez. moments like that happen 20 times a day. right now he has taken to carrying around a little stuffed tabby cat that we got at “the Ikea house”…the cat’s name is bob. Jack carries him everywhere–bob eats with jack, sleeps with jack, and goes to school with jack. The other night Jack put on dinosaur rain boots with his pajamas and stomped around the house with bob.
of course, i could go on and on about jack. he is amazing and sweet and bright and i am completely in love with him. and daddy. i am so lucky to have this house with these boys and all this love.
