JACK

He is 3 years old. He started Sunbeams this year, and has already given a talk. He thought it was so cool and is dying to give another one. He's potty trained and doesn't use a juice cup anymore. He still sucks his thumb and loves his blankie. He likes to clean the bathroom toilet to earn money so he can give it to his cousins. We're trying to explain to him that he can use it for other things, but he really loves to have a quarter for Colse and Griff every time he sees them. He loves to play with friends and is always excited about the possibilities of meeting new kids at the park. He gets really sad when we are leaving and he realizes he forgot to say, "my name is jack, what's your name." He practices a lot. Still loves trains, but may be growing up a little bit. Some of you may not know, but Jack thinks he IS a train. He liked to be called real train or Puffer Pete. However, the other day he said to me, "Mom, my nap turned me into a kid!" And he told Eric, "You can only ride on trains, you can't be a train." He asks to watch Polar Express everyday (something that started a couple of weeks ago when it was snowing). I let him watch once, but something just doesn't feel right about watching a Christmas movie in May. He asked me last week if it was Christmas time again. I explained that we still haven't had summer, and snow doesn't mean Christmas.
Jack's quotes:
-Daddy, I like your money.
-Mom, come quick I need to show you something! (looking out the window -May 24) Winter!! (it snowed all day)
-Mom...( I say, what Jack?) I wasn't talking to you, I was talking to myself!
-Addie, can you say breakfast (Addie says breakfast) Mom, I taught Addie to talk!

He is such a cutie! I think my favorite thing is that he liked to be called 'real train'. What a sweet cuz to always want to give Colse and Griff a present. He has such a cute personality!

What a cute boy! I love all his sayings. That is sad that he doesn't think he's a train anymore. Portie thinks he's Buzz and says that when he grows up he's gonna fly for real. It's so cute when they're like that.

It was fun talkin' to ya today! I coulda talked forever (and we almost did :) ) I hope we can really get together soon. Oh, and I think Portie has that same striped sweater--Target?? Love ya!
