Terrible two's?

Jack turns 20 months on the 5Th and famous terrible two's has begun early:o. Yet, I find myself giving in to Jack more than I do with Will? Why is that? Why is it much harder to discipline Jack than it is Will? Could it be the way he says "i sowwy"(i'm sorry) or "uh-oh" when he's in trouble? or maybe how tiny he appears to me compared to his big brother Will? Well, one thing is for sure, Jack's got my softer side figured out and it is getting me in trouble with daddy:-]

he loves hats! This is one of his favorites

he is so patient...

He does everything brother tells him to do!

A time to play, play and more play!

As soon as we brought this costume home with us, the boys were excited to put their knowledge to pratice:)

This doctor takes his career seriously!

Will showing off his skills. He can built this puzzle in less than 5 minutes!

Coo-kie. yum, yum, yum, yum. Jack's favorite Sesame Street monster! They both love cookies;)

This was fun!





Jack is a little baffled as to why his hands are green but, Will just aboslutely loved it!

He figured out how to push backwards. ha ha

Although he is not ready to pedal, he sure loves to test it out!

Back on Schedule

We had so much fun these past several days. Adam was home for three days and the kiddos tackled, wrestled and played with him. Will got to play outside with daddy, even though the weather is intolerable(at least for me). We also did some shopping and took Jack in for a 18 month well baby check up. My poor Jack was in for a big surprise after receiving a total of six shots, which, four of them we knew about the other two were snuck in(a second round of seasonal flu & H1N1). Amazingly, he did not cry(isn't he brave?/?)and his Dr. says he is healthy and is growing steady, 50Th percentile both weight and height. His big brother Will returned to school from Christmas break on Wednesday and he is still absolutely loving it. He pretty much loves to learn and to socialize. As for Jack, he has started an hour long class with me and is doing great! So far... he loves the puzzles, hands-on learning flash cards, arts & crafts and singing. Oh, the ABC's song is our favorite by the way, he can sing the entire song!! Overall, Adam went back to work today and even though we miss him, this new schedule just ain't so bad;-].

Even though we have balls everywhere, Jack absolutely loves this firetruck aunt Angie gave him for Christmas.

"Hi"

LOL

We love that Georgia hat better!

Jack wants to know how to peel this orange

Almost done...

"Ta-Daa"

Hello, and Welcome 2010

Another year has come and gone and I'm beginning to think...I cannot wait to start our family vacations this year!!. I mean, our usual of course, the mountains & visiting my sweet home SC. By the way, I begin our new year readjusting to Adam's brand new work schedule. He will begin his 48/72 tomorrow, which is great, sort of, once your on a routine. You see, I did just get him home today from a three day work schedule and now tomorrow he will be gone again for another three(what a bummer). The boys and I will definitely miss him. Wonderfully, we had him home today and were able to host a New Years party for our family. Will and Jack had a New Years time!







They are in a band together(guitar heroe band!)
