Something tells me it won't be as fun when he's a teenager

We were at the store the other day in the outdoor play aisle, and I spotted a bubble mower. I had to get it for Jack. He is very into bubbles right now. I have wanted to have a bubble mower since I knew I was having a boy. I was so jealous of my cousins bubble mower when I was little. I know silly! Of course they make them in pink now! It makes a whirring sound when you push it so I thought he might be scared of it. He went right up to it and started playing with it.

An update our neighbor has moved. Oh, how I wished they would be gone when I got back from Missouri. Is that horrible? I just couldn’t imagine living any longer next to them. They made things so difficult, and spied on our every move. This might make me a bad person, but I couldn’t get over the issues we had with them, and we were forced to get rid of our dog.

When I got back from Missouri she saw us and was all, “Oh hiiiii! Jack you are so big now.” I just walked right past her. I decided that my motto was going to be they don’t exist. I’m not letting her get to me, or ruin my day.

Well, apparently this got to her because whenever I was outside with Jack, or friends she’d run and slam her doors. She made several rude comments to me. I just held my tongue like she wasn’t even there, and now she isn’t! This may be dumb but Zach and I really feel like a cloud has been lifted. We don’t dread walking out our front door. We have been taking advantage of the peace, and sitting outside with Jack for a couple of hours in the evening while he plays.
