All about JACK

Actually there’s nothing bad about this potty trained boy! He is doing SO well lately. He had regressed a tad with the move and all the chaos, which I kind of expected would happen, But he is no longer wearing a diaper to school in the mornings or to the gym play area. We even fibbed and said he was 3yr. old and left him for an hour in the Ikea play zone…we got buzzed to come pick him up half way through his time slot…to our surprise it wasn’t because he pee’d his pants but because he was supposedly throwing balls at a little girl in the bouncy ball room…wonder who he gets that from (Papa!) After a firm scolding from Papa he returned to playing with no problems…In Arlin’s defense it was a room full of those small jumping balls and there was a tree in the corner of the room that you were supposed to shoot balls into different pockets for points. With Arlin being a short guy and all, when he threw the ball it never even came close to the tree…just close enough to hit the girl standing in front of him….oops.

Arlin Jack scored some new triangle crayons and a sketch pad from Target.

We sat together coloring and Arlin barked orders; “Shark, Mama…draw a Shark!” “Snake, Truck, Star, Dragon…..”

I think he’s going through a growth spurt lately, longer naps (when he’ll take them) and his pants aren’t so tight around the belly…

In between his raisins he’s reading to me “Arlin” “Mama” & “Papa”…he’s able to identify his own name when written…we’re still working the spelling of it.

Arlin also scored a huge box of clothes from Mimi (I think we’re set for summer, geez Mom, thank you)…he’s pretty excited to pick out his own shirt in the mornings, they each have something different on them, I’d say the race car shirt is his favorite as he’s tried to wear it three days in a row!
