Happy Valentine's Day!

Jack had no problem hurrying to get to school this morning knowing that there was going to be a party. Daddy's clients were so nice to push back their lunch meeting so that Daddy could come to Jack's Valentine's Day party. Jack was so happy to hand out heart balloons to all his friends. He also loved the Chicken Nuggets and ketchup followed by two heart cupcakes. His friend, Arabella, (in the picture) prays for Jack every night, her Daddy said. Arabella tells her Daddy all the time that "Jack is so funny." Jack loves playing with his friends. However, when he thought his friend, Wes, was leaving, he got very upset. Although Wes and his mommy don't know that they are in a race, EVERY DAY, Jack has to beat Wes out of the parking lot. Today was no exception. He started to cry thinking that Wes had left, but once he realized that his mommy was still in the classroom, Jack told me, "Hurry, Mommy, we have to beat Wes." So with his balloon and valentine bag in hand, we ran to the car and he cheered when we were first to leave. (I wonder where he gets his competitiveness?) Then, later this afternoon we went to soccer practice, and Jack was so excited to get his first jersey! Then we had a Valentine's hamburger dinner with Mimi and YoYo.

Jack's Funny Little Sayings

"Oh, Pickles!" - When things go wrong and close to Oh, S... Try it, it's fun to say.

"I guess I can" - What he says after he accomplishes something he was just told that he couldn't do. (The first occasion was when we were at Whataburger and he wanted to squeeze between a tiny space between the booth and the window. After I told him to go around the other side because the space was too small for him, he squeezed as hard as he could and made it.)

"I'll try my best" - What he says when he is about to do something that he shouldn't do. (like straddling between bar stools or standing on his jeep or climbing into the Suburban from the ground through the rolled down window. Video of this to come soon...

"Is that a good plan?" - What he says when he has a detailed plan of events like "after we have lunch, we'll get gas, and then ride my bike to the playground, is that a good plan?"

"Now that is what I'm talking about" - What he says when you understand what he is saying.

Playdate with Charlotte

Jack loved giving Charlotte a tour of the backyard in his Jeep that has a real FM radio.

Early Morning Pancakes

Jack woke up at 6 am, so we just decided to make pancakes. This is the first time that Jack ate pancakes - he wanted to try them because of the picture on the whipped cream can.

Aubrey's 3rd Birthday.

Jack had a ball playing at Aubrey's 3rd birthday party. It happened to be right after his friend, Audrey's 3rd birthday. Mommy and Daddy and Jack had 6 hours of birthday party fun!

Happy New Year!

Naptime with Dutch

All the holiday excitement tuckered Jack out. He decided to snuggle up next to Dutch and fell asleep. Of course, Dutch moved before I got the camera, but I just let Jack take a nap on the floor.
