Let's start with the nice. Jack gives lots of love....hugs and kisses all the time. He also loves to share. He can be a sweet, sweet boy. Mr Smiley...I would say 90 percent of the time. He makes daddy and I smile and laugh many times throughout each day. He is also getting older and wiser by the day. He is so inquisitive...which also gets to his naughty side. He has been testing his mommy for months. There is no need for me to go to the gym as I get my daily exercise just chasing after him. Give him 30 seconds alone....he will unroll the entire toliet paper roll, open the dishwasher and climb on the door, jump on the cat, find a coin to try to swallow or pull out the safety plugs and stick his fingers into the sockets. So we have quicly learned that he needs costant attention! And he is not evening walking yet. He cruises and crawls everywhere so fast that there is really no reason to walk. He has a couple of famous tricks now. Unplugging the modem, playing with the phones, and plucking keys off the laptop keyboard. Yes he does like toys and books still...just not as well as playing with everything he is not supposed to. So he definitely keeps things interesting and our house very busy. This last week has brought with it something new...temper tantrums! Yes when you tell him no...or try to force him to do something that isn't part of his agenda...screaming and tears and back arching are sure to follow. And like magic as soon as he gets his way...the smile reapears! He still loves his new daycare and is excited when I drop him off every morning. I think he really likes being the youngest and hanging out with 3 year olds all day. He gets to do fun new things like art projects, library trips, playing outside and field trips. So that is the Jack update for now....I think I can hang in there as long as the nice continues to outshine the naughty!
