We're Going On A Trip...

In Our Favorite Rocket ship! To say Jack loves The Little Einsteins would be an understatement. The kid is flat out obsessed over them. He can and does sing the theme song. Being the coolest mom that I am I bought him an inflatable rocket ship seat. However, I did have buyers remorse on the way home from the store. I kept telling myself, "Traci, he's only going to think it's cool for 15 minutes. Then he will be over it." Not the case, friends. He sits in it all the time. He runs around the house holding it to his bum pretending to fly. I was able to get a couple pictures before take off.

Gentlemen, Start Your Engines!

Come on, with a name like Jack Daniel, what do you expect? Of course, he's going to love Nascar. I was getting ready the other morning and Jack comes running in screaming, "Mom Mom, racing cars!!" I didn't think anything of it. Just assumed he was playing with his hotwheels. But, then I peeked around the corner and saw his face practically glued to the TV. Every time it went to commercial he was panicking. I have unconditional love for my child. So, if he chooses to be a fan of the races, then so be it. It's not about the image. It's about seeing him happy.

THE VICTIM

Jack D Sanford

THE SUSPECT

Reiss K Miller AKA Scrappy

Jack and his cousin, Reiss, were playing this morning like they were the best of friends. Out of no where I hear screaming. I run in there and see Jack and Reiss going at it....all because of a HOTWHEEL!! Hello, there's only about 2 hundred others they could play with. But, they both wanted the same one. Go figure. I see that Jack got attacked. Now, the redhead stated that Jack hit him. However, I saw no marks of any kind on him. (This coming from the kid who never makes a mess. It's always Jack he claims). But, he is my nephew so I believe the story. Even though I once saw him pummel a kid at a Chick-Fil-A kids playground. No kidding. I can't let Reiss take all the blame in this situation. His momma is partly to blame...cut your kids nails!!

Move Over Bobby Flay...

Cause Jack can make a mean bowl of Mac and Cheese.

*Sigh*

Stay Back...

Or they will get you!! Look at these fierce superheroes.

The Friendly Giant

Hello, can we say growth spurt? The other day I had Jack try on his winter coat and pants from last year. They were a little snug and a little short. So, I decided to get him a new coat and some new pants. But, I didn't realize how much he had grown until I put the 2 outfits next to each other. My kid is a GIANT! I'm constantly having people ask me if he is 4 years old. Sheesh, just because he wears a size 8 sneaker and is a little taller than the average 2 year old doesn't make him look 4...does it?

Jack's Loot

The other day Jack and I were out running errands and I kept thinking, "My purse gets heavier and heavier everyday." Seriously, I never know what's in it. I throw stuff in there and Jack is constantly asking me to hold something of his...which ends up getting chucked in my purse too. Anyway, I decided to see what all I had going on in there. Quite a bit, actually.

14 hotwheels
3 trains
3 airplanes
2 packages of fruit snacks
1 sippy cup

Ridiculous

Good Down To The Last Bite

I raised him well. What can I say? He knows never to waste chocolate ice cream. I couldn't stop laughing when I saw him literally licking the bowl. That's my boy!

My Little Man

After I got Jack ready for church this morning I had to sit back and just stare at him. I can't believe how fast he is growing. He is such a big boy. But, he is a big boy that still needs his momma. When I took him to nursery he said, "Mom mom, I meed you." (yes, meed. not need.) As much as I wanted to slip out of the room, he melted my heart. I had to stay...come on, he meeded me. What's a mom to do?

Inked

Oh, my sweet precious little boy. I really won't be a bit surprised if he comes home one day with a tattoo. The kid loves ink. Either that or I do a horrible job at hiding the pens. I loves how he draws on himself and then comes and tells me that he's a mess.

Coming Home

Our vacation is over. We had fun and we are so glad we went. I took a few pictures of Jack on the plane. He cracks me up. He was pretending to be asleep.

Thank goodness for portable DVD players.
