Jack Edward

The Jack Update

Loves his "ucy iser" (Lucy sister") and loves to "help". He often gets the assignment to take Lucy's soiled diapers to the "diaper trash". He told me his first joke/funny the other day. We are working on what his full name is.
Stacy: Jack what's your name?
Jack: Jack E boy
S: No your Jack Edward
J: Jack Edward
S: Good, and that's Lucy Aleen, so what's your name?
J: Jack Aleen....and Lucy Edward

Oh my silly boy you make me smile.Jack is also a good helper and he can often be found helping to do the dishes, clean the bathroom, making breakfast (eggs), and "fixing" the walls (this is down by pounding with his hammers all over the house).

Jack's vocab has started growing exponentially. He is talking in full sentences and it mush more understandable...at least to those fluent in the Jack dialect of 2 year old.

Jack loves everything car, trains, or trucks. Pretty much if it has wheels he loves it and it is "MINE". We are working on sharing and how to use a quiet voice.

Jack loves his cousins and friends. Anytime we get on the freeway he asks if we are going to Brea's house. Anytime we drive down Spur he points to Maura's house then Rylie's house, driving down our street he points to Macy's house and then Brighton's house.

As we drive to Nana's house he asks if we are going to Jonas' house, I say no and he asks if we are going to Aaron's house. (You get to all of these houses the same way). As we drive west on our way to Grandma's house he asks if we are going to Parker's house and when we pass by he knows Grandma's house is next and gets excited to see " Amma, nInda, Rara, Wad, Anna, and Marhee.Jack loves to JUMP! He is our jumping Jack and seriously jumps everywhere. If he's not Jumping he's running.

He loves wearing jeans and loves to pick out his own clothes....usually he does pretty good, but not always.

He still loves nap time. Although last couple days he hasn't actually napped. Instead, he gets his sippy cup with milk goes to his room and plays/sings/"reads" for at least 2 hours. I really don't care if he actually sleeps (although he's happy if he does) as long as he gives me at least 2 hours.

Jack loves to laugh and loves to make us laugh.

Brad told me that when they were at the Father's and Son's outing Jack was acting afraid when they were doing the rockets and kept wanting Brad to hold him. Then he looked over and there was a whole line of little boys leaning up against our van. Immediately he wanted down and he walked over to them, leaned up against the van and said "MY VAN! MY VAN!" He wanted to be sure that those boys knew that was HIS van. Then when they dropped him off at your house after the trip Jack cried his head off when they were driving off, saying MY VAN! MY VAN! He is definitely a candidate for a big truck when he grows up.
