Jack just so happens to be 27 months old today so I thought it might be a good idea to give a little update because it has been a while since I updated this.
Here are some things Jack is doing:
- Jack is 95% potty trained. He really started to get it the middle of June. It just kinda clicked with him. It took him a couple of weeks to poop in the potty but once he did it once, that clicked too! He wears underwear everyday and a diaper when he goes to bed at night. I can count on one hand how many accidents he has had in the last month. We are so proud of him and can't believe we don't have to buy a box of diapers every week! Whenever Jack goes on the potty he gets a "jelly bean." It is really a skittle but he calls them jelly beans. When he poops on the potty at school, he gets a tatoo. Right now he has 6 of them on his tummy. He looks like a little biker boy!
- Jack's favorite color is orange. Whenever he has a choice and there is something orange, he will ALWAYS pick it! When he sees something that is orange, he says, "That's orange my favorite!"
- Jack has a girlfriend. My friend Mandy has twins, a boy and a girl who are 10 weeks older than Jack. He has been in the same class at school with them since he started. Mandy and I have always joked that her daughter Olivia and Jack are more like twins then her son and daughter. They are both very bright for their age. Olivia is also potty trained and I really think the reason Jack is potty trained is he was jealous that Olivia got to use the potty at school and he didn't. Jack calls Olivia, Livy Loo. They sit by each other at lunch. They give each other hugs before they leave every day and they have even been caught sitting on each other's laps and giving each other kisses on the cheek. It is so cute. Mandy and I starting to plan their wedding in 2032.
- Jack is obsessed with the farm, grandpa's farm that is. This summer he has had the chance to go stay with Grammy and Grandpa a few times and he has loved every minute. He loves the tractor, fork lift and the big truck. The last time he was there, he got to ride in the tractor and spray the fields with grandpa. He also got to raise the fork lift up and down all by himself and they put his car seat in the big truck and got to go for a ride with grandpa. He was in heaven and living every little boy's dream. Whenever you tell him we are going somewhere he always asks to go to the farm! I have a feeling he is going to be spending lots of summers working on the farm with Grandpa and Uncle Brad.
We are going to the Lake House with my family in 2 weeks so I will post some pictures of that when we return.
