Jack loves Charlotte

At the parent/teacher conference, we asked who some of Jack's friends are, and the teacher said Charlotte. I guess they try to sit next to each other whenever they can, and he is very gentle with her. Charlotte and Jack talk to each other on the phone almost every day too. Yesterday, Jack asked if he can marry Charlotte, and I said, "Of course!" You could hear Charlotte and Jack just squeal with excitement. I talked to Charlotte's mom this morning, and we may just arrange a little wedding. I guess Charlotte wears the ring that came in her birthday present that Jack gave her all the time.

Jack's Sense-of-humor

Jack can be very witty. Ryan and I are always surprised at what he has to say. The other day when we were headed to a football game, we forgot the tickets and had to turn around. Once we turned around, Jack said, "That was a great football game." hahaha Since it was halloween, I have halloween hand towels in his bathroom. After he washed his hands, he said, "get ready to get wet, witch." He cracks me up!

Playdate with Wes

Jack and his best friend, Wes, had a playdate at Northpark. When these two get together, it's as if they just drank 3 red bulls and a pound of candy. They get so excited!!!

Halloween Pictures

Jack was a transformer in the morning at school and changed into Superman at night.

San Diego Trip

Just for fun we headed to San Diego to visit our friend Mike. We went to Sea World and then to Miramar to see The Blue Angels. Mike surprised us with VIP tickets into the Patriot tent which gave us special access to the Blue Angels. At Sea World, Jack got the special whale tail necklace at the Shamu show. He was so proud of it. It was a fantastic trip. Jack was funny though, the whole time, he kept saying "I miss Texas," but when we were on the runway coming home, he said "I miss California." hahaha

Second and Third Day of School

Jack's second day of school didn't go so well. He said that he was afraid to go back because of the mean kids who pushed him. On the third day, when I picked him up and asked if he had a better day, he said, "Yes.. Wes and I were the police officers and caught the bad kids and took them to jail." I'm not exactly sure what that means, but he seemed to have worked it out. :)

First Day of School

Today was Jack's first day of school. He had no hesitation whatsoever. In fact, Ryan was hanging around and Jack gave him another kiss and said, "ok daddy goodbye." This year he wears a uniform. On dress days, he is supposed to wear a tie. Jack can't wait to wear a tie so that he can look like Daddy. There were two mini-orientation days last Thursday and Friday and Jack went to visit his new classroom for an hour each day. On Friday, the teacher said Jack was "hilarious" and "very strong." I didn't get a chance to ask what made her say that but I wonder if they were related. :) Jack grew over 2 inches this summer. He wears a size 11 1/2 shoe and a size 6 clothing. He even grew a quarter of an inch in 9 days. I now recognize that when he is very aggressive that a growth spurt usually follows. There was one day where I said, "Jack, don't chase the dogs with the chainsaw," "When Cocoa growls, that means STOP!" "If you run your truck into the wall again, I will throw it away." :)
