Jack says the darndest things

(Jack) Knock, Knock.

(Mama) Who's there?

(Jack) Jack, and Dada, and Mama!


Jack is not feeling well this Thanksgiving day. It started last night. He is feeling better though after a long nap. He really likes Egg Nog, which we call Pumpkin Milk otherwise he won't touch it.

Jack says the darndest things

The other day Mom said that she had a song "stuck in her head." Jack asked "where's it at?" and looked around on her head.

At just a few weeks in, Jack has been non-stop chatty at his new daycare. He constantly asks questions about anything and everything, and explains things too. We already had one incident where he hit another kid (4 yrs old) and gave him a bloody nose. It was probably over a toy, and both boys "play aggressively." Jack admitted to it the next morning on his own (the caretaker must not have thought it a big deal because she forgot to say anything about it the day it happened). He seemed to feel bad about what happened and said he cried when it happened too.

Then today she said he pushed the younger girl down. When I asked him about it, he said in a very matter-of-fact way that she tripped, fell, and hit her head and that he did not push her. His talking has really gone to the next level lately. It was very convincing too how he said it.

Wake Up Call!

Yesterday morning Mom and Dad were reluctant to get out of bed. Jack was of course up at his usual 6amish. We told him to go downstairs and one of us would be down soon. A bit later he came back up the stairs and said, "Mama, Dada I got coffee for you!" He handed us each an empty playdough cup.

1st day at new daycare (again)

Jack was at his very first daycare ever since he was a little (and we mean little) baby. He visited there last Friday which was so much fun. Most of his friends were still there. After Mom's job was relocated, we went to daycare #2. Due to lack of space (play-space) Jack started to have issues. He grew up in an environment with much more freedom (at his first daycare) so this was a struggle. There is much to be said for a backyard!

After about 2 months at daycare #2, we found daycare #3. Today was his first day there. It is slightly less far for us to drive there which is a perk. The biggest perk is the room-- it is a roomy house with a fenced in front and back yard. There is even a separate playroom with many toys, and toys to ride on a-plenty. Of course, Jack had a great day and did really well. There are two other kids around his age there and about once a week a baby.

He wore his big boy underpants all day and was great about using the potty. He IS officially potty-trained and makes it through the nights too now. Basically ever since he turned three he has been good to go.

Halloween Fun

Jack caught a cold Halloween weekend and we've had a few low on sleep days ever since. He went trick or treating for the first time Saturday, well- 'trunk-or-treating.' It was so fun! He said "trick or treat" and "thank-you" at first, then after awhile just held out his hand for candy.

Halloween night we passed out candy. We waited anxiously the doorbell to ring. Jack said he was waiting for his "kids." We ran out of candy and had lights out at 7:30.

Jack says his favorite color is blue. He is talking in complete (or nearly complete) sentences now. His go to phrase whenever he sees someone new is: "Hi, I got two cars."
