Cute Big Boy Saturday

In bed nearly an hour and a half...

Yep. Wide awake for #3.

Friday Five

Grandma (my mom) has been out of town for the last week. We are all missing her. Someone needs to tell her she needs to not go anywhere anymore. Sheesh!

Just kidding.

Mostly.

Dare I say that for the most part, the boy is potty trained? No, I probably shouldn't. I don't want to jinx things!

One of Jack's new favorite games is playing circus. He arranges all of his animals to watch, and then calls everyone else he can round up into his room. The expectation is that mom or dad will then hold the flashlight for him so he can "perform" in the spotlight.

It's pretty awesome. :)

It's pretty awesome that I can bring books home from the junior high library at my work for my first graders to read. It's also pretty mind blowing. Wow. Just wow.

I've since learned that Jason is not a fan of illustrations. He prefers "real" pictures, thank you very much.

I've also learned that Shawn is quite particular about the stories he is willing to read. I still haven't quite figured out exactly what will pass muster with him, yet. The key thing for him is to have a variety of choices. lol

I am having a hard time believing it is almost time to start working on our summer bucket list. I can't wait to see what the summer holds for us!

All Checked Out

Good news! Thankfully, no one at today's pediatrician appointment thought we beat the boy with his goose egg on his head! Woohoo! lol

Jack had his 4 year appointment today. He's looking good, although we do want to go get his hearing checked to make sure all is well there.

Jack is in the 85%ile for weight and greater than 97%ile for height, too. :)

I'm this big!

Let's get out of this place!

Wait a minute? What's that thing, Doc?

Shots?! What 'cha talkin' 'bout, Doc?
I don't do shots!
(He was lucky because he's up to date and didn't need them!)

Is he not the cutest in his gown?!

Mostly Wordless Wednesday

Jack - 0; bed - 1.

He even cried. You KNOW it hurt when he cries.

Jack managed to smack his head as he was getting into his bed this evening. Sigh.

Got to love it when your kid manages to give himself a black/blue goose egg in the middle of his forehead the night before a yearly checkup at a pediatrician he's never met. There's nothing quite like a big, fat, facial bruise to make a great lasting impression with someone, right? lol

Selective

The littlest child has a very selective palette. He is not an adventurous eater at all, and even when you have him try something that you know he should like, he still acts like it is the worst. thing. ever. So imagine my surprise when the kid asked for and ate this...

It makes no sense!!! Sigh. I don't even try to understand the insanity anymore. Lol

Food Play...or Just a Regular Day

"Look! It's a Toosie Roll sandwich car!"

Floatin' in the Tub

He spends most of his bath time "floating." If that pesky washing business wouldn't get in his way, he'd spend his whole bath time this way. :)

P.S. I don't think this kid really ever takes a bad picture!
