Yesterday I bought a potty seat at Target and let Jack pick out his own big boy pants. Today, I let him run around naked. He has peed in the living room, eating area, on my bed, in the bathroom and eventually all of those times resulted in him peeing in the toilet after I […]

It was strange when my babysitter called me this afternoon and immediately hung up. When she called a second time, I thought we had bad service because there was no answer to my “hello.” But after moving to a more serviceable area, I received my reply: “Hewo?” It was Jack. He had stolen his babysitter’s […]

If you know me, you know I’m an intense person. When I start thinking about something or learning something, I want to know EVERYTHING there is to know about that thing. When I care about someone, I care very deeply. When I’m excited, I’m thrilled! And when I’m nervous… well, I freak out. Poor Tim. […]

I wanted to take a break from this crazy week to tell you all that Jack pooped in the potty tonight! Actually, I was able to stop him from pooping in the tub again, thanks to some of your advice! So, thanks! I never imagined myself encouraging someone to poop. But I did! And it […]

Yesterday I turned 29. Wow, that’s weird to say. Anyways, Tim told me a week ago that on my birthday I had an appointment at 2:15 and would need to bring Jack to our friend’s house at 1:30 so they could watch him. Tim has never been one to keep a secret, so I was […]

Jack loves our camera and taking pictures. Here is a short collection of his work. [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zvnVBeEGCSI]

On Sunday we finally converted Jack’s crib into a toddler bed. I wasn’t sure how well it would go, if he would get out of bed at 3 am or refuse to stay in bed at all. So far there haven’t been any real issues. Yesterday, Jack invented a little game for us to play. […]
