First Self-Portrait

Jack made this about a week ago.  He drew himself, in profile (you can see his right ear, and he made his hair "spiky) .  He said he was getting ready to take a bath in the picture and was pulling down his underwear (multiple lines) and pants, ha ha! The grey blob on the right is just a broken part of the toy.  The first version (above) is where he realized he did not draw arms and added them in.  PS the strange naps that he was taking (two times) after school turned out to be that he hardly slept, or didn't sleep at school.  His new teacher had thought he had taken naps but did not after all. 

After school nap??

It must have been that run Jack and Dad went on yesterday evening....because Jack is actually napping right now!  He still naps daily, but what is unusual is that it is after school.  He has not done this in forever.  He was even yawning and closing his eyes on the short ride home.  This just had to be documented!

Jack says the darndest things...

Today we were discussing how good macaroni is. 


Jack:  It makes you feel better, if you are sick. 

Mama:  So it heals you?

Jack:  Mmmhmmm.  Sometimes they call it medicine.

Updates

Jack is getting taller and losing his "baby face."  While it is sad to lose Baby Jack, it is fun to see how Big Jack learns and grows every day.  He is proud of how he is getting bigger and bigger. 

Having been in his "new" classroom for months now, he finally seems comfortable.  He likes his teacher so much that he told her he wants to "keep" her.  He invited her over to have Macaroni and Cheese.  He also informed her that she is one of his beloved Power Rangers.  He says his favorite color is green now, and that is surely due to his favorite Power Ranger being green.  We are sad that Jack's teacher that he adores, is moving to CA this week.   It will be hard to tell him that he won't get to see her again.  His new teacher seems nice though. 

Jack is going through a time of being extra afraid of the dark.  He has difficulty going to bed and often sneaks into Mom and Dad's bed late at night which does not make them sleep more soundly! 

Installation Art

Jack requested a picture of this, his "artwork."

Almost Four!

Jack has been looking forward to turning four!  His next birthday theme will be robots.  He is even more into building things than ever.  The tiny Lego sets are his favorite.  He seems to like the little details.  He has been a good boy at school.  They traced their names the other day and he did a great job.  He really enjoys painting, and likes going to his Mom's classroom to paint while she works.
