Football season is upon us
At the playground this morning, Jack told me that since I had to concentrate while pushing him and Lucy on the swings, he would let me know if a fire truck went by.
After he jumped off the swing, he said that he wouldn't jump off again because his new shirt would get messed up and he wanted to make sure that he looked handsome when he got to Joe's house for the football game. But he did say that if his shirt got all squiggly and bumpy he could just flatten it out with his hands. He prefers his shirts tucked in, by the way.

Videos
I snuck (sneaked?) into Lucy's room while Jack was reading to her and took this video...
This is a video of Jack and Lucy playing with her slide. Jack also does a rendition of his new hit single, "I Shake My Bottom," which is actually a re-make of another one of his songs with the same title.

Invasion of a superhero
Since Jack has outgrown the Disney paintings I made for him before he was born, I finally finished a new one. Unfortunately I promised another one, so I better get crackin...

Mozarts
After the peacocks, we went to Mozarts for breakfast. The kids got to see some fish, and Jack put Lucy to work hauling some random blocks.

And then there's the girl one
Ah, Lucy. She'll be 18 months next week, and is growing more independent each day. And bossy. She's going to be tough, Jack has made sure of that. She has a very soft, breathy voice when she talks, and a very loud voice when she screams. Mallarie babysat for us the other night, and Lucy was not happy about us leaving. Apparently she cried at the front door for a few minutes until Mallarie opened the door to show her we were not there. Then Lucy requested to be put in her crib and covered with her blanket until she calmed herself down. After a few minutes she requested to be let out, and then she was fine. Did I mention she's only 18 months?Another funny story...I went to get her out of her crib the other morning and she was crouched down, but standing. When I walked in, she waved her hand in front of her face and said "Wee Ooh." Sure enough, she had pooped. And she was right, it did not smell good.

Jack...
The past year has had its share of difficulties with this one. He's very stubborn, very smart, very OCD, but also very sweet and funny when he wants to be. The last few days I've noticed an improvement with how he treats Lucy--they actually play together and it turns out he CAN be nice to her! Jack and I spent the day together yesterday--mowed the lawn, went out to lunch, went to see Toy Story 3 (first time he'd been to a movie theater). It was really nice to have some one-on-one time.
There are some random funny comments/conversations that I've been meaning to write down, and I know I've forgotten many, but here are a few...
(After he buckles his seat belt)
Jack: Let's rock and roll!
Me: How's your lunch?
Jack: It's delicious.
Me: How do you like Reese's Pieces?
Jack: Love 'em.
Jack: Mom, even though Jay is four now, he's still small.
Me: Yeah, some people are small and some people are big.
Jack: Yeah, some people are small and some people are big. That's just how life works.
(Jack was talking into his toy walkie talkie)
Me: Who are you talking to?
Jack: Nanny.
(A few minutes go by)
Me: Who are you talking to now?
Jack: I'm still talking to your mom.
Jack put on some goggles tonight and asked that I take a video of him. Click here to watch...
I don't think I've ever met anyone quite like Jack. Except maybe his cousin John...
