Favorite Jack Stories

Jack is doing all kinds of funny things these days. There is a pantry cupboard in our new place that is pretty low to the ground...and it is the one cabinet that doesn't have a child lock in place (don't worry, we will soon be installing one), so Jack is constantly picking out what he would like to eat and tossing cans and other items in various places. Well, the other day I was headed to the store so I picked up my purse and it felt quite heavy. I didn't remember putting the camera or anything in it, so I opened it to see what was weighing it down. And lo and behold I found 5 potatoes! I'm not sure when he put the potatoes in my purse but I was glad I found them before I went to the grocery and it looked as though I was shoplifting.
Jack loves to show off his body parts these days. He doesn't really know where anything is...but his belly button. So, if you ask him where his nose (mouth, eyes, ears, etc) is he will instantly lift up his shirt and show you his "buh" (as he calls it) or button.
Jack is also obsessed with dogs (or "bog"). Both neighbors have dogs that occassionally bark and he will stop whatever he is doing (which is usually constructing something in the dirt) and say "bog, bog" "woof, woof". We took him to the pet store and he was actually a little leary of the dogs when it came to petting them - but in his defense, they were pretty large and I was a bit scared, too.

I found this hoop at a garage sale yesterday and since then Jack has been busy perfecting his dunk...that is when his dad isn't hogging the ball.

Easter



We actually had a really fun Easter here with Jack. I was on call so we weren't able to go to church that morning but the Easter bunny did hop his way into Jack's room and leave him with some cool bath crayons and fingerpaints. We also decorated Easter eggs (which was terribly messy). Jack had practiced his egg hunting skills at school all week and had come home with quite a load of "treats" so we had a few of those, too. I had to convince him that the chocolate bunnies tasted better without their foil covering. I think Jack's hands are still green from the egg dye but overall we had a lot of fun (even though it was snowing here!).
