Jack the Giant

Dad and Lucy

Neck of Steel

Fat Girl

I had to mark the date...

Yesterday was the first day Jack said, out of the blue while giving me a hug, "I love you." And I said, "I love you sooo much." And then he said, "I love you so much too."

It makes the twenty time-outs-a-day worth it.

"Uh Oh...Hat Guy..."

This is what Jack has been saying right before he puts this hat on. He's been sorting through some old clothes lately and found this. He thinks it quite funny.

Another thing he's been saying lately is (for example), "Did you bring my bike or no?" "Do you like this or no?" "Can I watch TV or no?"

At bedtime now, I tuck him in and then we talk for a few minutes. It's one of my new favorite things. He twirls my hair and we talk about what he did that day. Or he brings up the same story about how he and another little boy were shoving at the playground three days ago because Jack was there first and the other kid wouldn't give him a turn. This story has been brought up each night since the alleged incident. I love our conversations.

And he's still into his little sister. Click here for a recent video of the two of them.
