Jack Highlights


I love 3 year olds! Always have. But experiencing it with my own little boy is just extra special. He has such a fun personality. He is changing every day, but here are a few of the things he likes today:
  • Favorite movies: Bolt, Wall-E, and Dinosaur (in no particular order.)
  • Favorite item of clothing: his Spiderman boxer briefs
  • Favorite food: macaroni and cheese
  • Favorite dessert: frosting or whipped cream
  • Favorite thing to do with mom: cook...especially when he gets to crack the eggs
  • Favorite thing to do with dad: play video games (Stuart is in the process of teaching him)
  • Favorite superhero: Ironman (followed closely by Spiderman)
  • Favorite TV show: Calliou
  • Favorite book: Going on a Bear Hunt
  • Favorite outdoor activity: taking walks and collecting rocks and debris on the way

Some of the things Jack is doing today:

  • He now pees standing up. (He's pretty good at cleaning up any spills, however, he does insist on closing the door for privacy now which is not always a good thing.)
  • The most common phrases we hear from him are: "It can't work." or "I do it, all myself."
  • He loves garbage trucks and points them out excitedly whenever he sees one.
  • He can get dressed by himself, but usually insists on help, saving the skill for undressing instead. He is a little streaker.
  • He prefers when I tell him a made-up bedtime story, instead of reading from his books. He likes the story of little Jack running away from home.
  • He pretends to be scared sometimes, for attention.


I cherish this time with him.

After 4 kids - I've finally learned what you already know - that it's important to cherish each growing phase and not become frustrated or hurry it up.

I love reading your blog.
