Ok so I haven’t blogged in forever primarily because my life has been insane since March and because when I get out of the habit of doing something I get lazy. So here I am back on the wagon. There is so much that has happened that I want to document but I am just not ready yet so I am going to just give a few of my favorite Jack things.
Gentleman
“Here’s a flower Mommy” Whenever Jack passes flowers whether I am with him or not he always gets me flowers.
He is passionate about opening doors so I have taught him to hold it open for me.
Even when he is strongly disagrees with me he usually says “no thank you” now it is not always with a sweet tone and it rarely makes me change my mind but its pretty sweet.
Five
Five is Jacks favorite number. I know this because everything is “like five” for example how many of your friend do you think will be at the park “like five”; “play with me like five minutes”; lay down with me like five minutes; how much do I love you “like five” (he also answers that question so much).
Super Why
If you ask Jack he will inform you that he IS Super Why he will then go on to assign everyone around a part. I am always Wonder Red. Being Super Why is a big job this requires that he where’s his cape, jump off the coffee table, spin in circles (which he will proudly show you) and insist that I am in the room so when they get to the part in the show where you are suppose to put your “arms in” I am there to put my “arm in” with him. He loves Super Why so much that he had a Super Why Birthday Party (I will write more about this in another post).
Why
Jack has entered the “why” phase he is always asking why. This can be a bit trying because I don’t always know “why” so Jay suggested that I answer “You know why” Well the other day I asked Jack why and his reply (with a ornery grin)…”You know why”
Kind Heart
Jack has developed the sweetest little heart (now mind you he can turn on a dime and throw hug fits just ask Jay about the 2 a.m. “I WANT MY MOMMY” debacle) but he is so sweet I frequently get un-requested hugs and I love you’s and he is just enamored with all the little babies in our world but the following was a face book status a month ago and it is one of my favorite examples:
“It always makes me smile when kids can so easily get things that grown ups make so complicated: Jack while I am praying "why do you say sorry"; Me "because I need to ask for forgiveness" Jack "why" Me because the bible says so; Jack "why"; Me "because I believe in God and the bible Jack "God forgive me and help me Amen" such a simple prayer that says just what it needs too”
This is Jay’s
Jack “Daddy I’m sorry”
Jay “Why”
Jack “because I’m not sharing”
