Jack, is as crazy and silly as ever. He is busy everyday going from one thing to the next. He talks and talks, and talks some more. I love hearing all the funny things he has to say, and helping him learn new words. He has been saying some really funny stuff lately. I need to write some of them down so I can remember them. He narrates everything he does, everything we do, and everywhere we go. We have a running commentary. About the only time he is quiet is early in the morning, or when he’s watching one of his movies. I am trying to work on some basic pre preschool skills with him. He has his colors down. Sometimes he confuses blue and yellow. He can count to twelve now. He sings A-G of the alphabet, and then skips to the wxyz part. That is mainly what we are working on, learning to recognize letters, and sing the alphabet. He knows all of his shapes, but he calls a circle a moon. I have a shapes application on my iphone that displays different shapes and tells you to touch the heart, touch the circle, etc. You get a sticker after getting so many in a row right. He loves playing that game. We haven’t made much progress on potty training, but I think it is something that will come in his time. We take him to the potty, and he goes, but he doesn’t tell us when he has to go. He’s also still wetting during naps. They say a good sign of readiness is staying dry at naps. He just seems to be a lazy boy when it comes to potty training. I know it will come in due time. I doubt I’ll be sending him to college in pull-ups! He’s still afraid of everything. You have to talk him into every situation and anything new. Still carries his B (blanket) everywhere he goes. He looks like Linus from Peanuts, but I don’t mind. Every day I cuddle him on my lap and ask him to please stay two and little forever. I enjoy every minute of him being my little boy.
I had a cold the past few days. Don't try to bake cookies while strung out on NightQuil. I preheated my oven, and then stuck in a baking sheet with chocolate chip cookies on it. Zach and I wanted a few fresh cookies for a snack before bed. I set my timer for 9 minutes. During the nine minutes I thought to myself something sure is burning in the oven. Never going over to actually look inside the thing. I assumed something that had fallen from previous cooking and was burning. After my nine minutes I pulled them out shouting, "They are burned!" They had a pretty good char going on the outside. I stood there trying to figure out why the heck they had burned, and looked down and noticed the oven set to 475 instead of 375. Zach said he noticed it, but didn't say anything. Thanks, babe! So, don't try to bake while drugged out on the cold meds. We even ate them anyway. Black on the outside, and mushy not really done on the inside. Yummy.
