TWO YEATS is what you hear from Jack when you ask him how old he will be on his next birthday. Well, that birthday has snuck up on us, and I somehow find myself being the momma to a two year old man child.<br />
<br />
Oh Jackie Jack, you are a delight. You keep your Poppy and I laughing so hard that sometimes I fear we'll collectively pee our pants. Your Poppy says that having you around is like having a tiny Bill Murray living in our house. You have your father's comedic timing, and your momma's love of all things mischevious.<br />
<br />
It is so hard being two, but you are doing your best to be so good. Things can get frustrating for you, but you always take a deep breath when momma asks you too and that usually calms you right down. You wake up in the morning and the second you're done nursing you say "play" and rush off to the livingroom and the waiting arms of your proud Poppy.<br />
<br />
You know <strong>so</strong> many words and speak in such great ESL sentences that sometimes I have a hard time remembering you're only 24 months old. I love that you love learning and choose books over almost anything. Your imagination has me wishing I could live in your creative little head because it must be so fun and happy there.<br />
<br />
Every momma is proud of their kid, but somehow you've made me push the acceptable limit and I'm often bursting at the seams with pride. You are such a kind boy and are so polite; "please" and "thank you" are words that we rarely have to remind you to use. You were fully potty trained by 23 months, and you still are so excited each and every time you go "pee pee on the potty".<br />
<br />
You love with a kind of love that eharmony.com wishes they could bottle and sell. Even though you don't know how to be super gentle with cousin "Parkah", you're often tackling him to try to hug him, rather than out of spite. <br />
<br />
This isn't just a mother's pride speaking - you are seriously one of the brightest little munchkins I've ever met. I was so impressed with you when you told the 8 year old boy on the airplane that his dinosaur was an "Iguanodon" and it uses it "claw to jab foe". And you had to tell him this information because he didn't know. You surprise me every day with what you pick up, and are a constant reminder that I need to watch my language least you tell an errantic Lil Tykes car driver to fuck off some day on the playground.<br />
<br />
You have your father's unconditional kindness and I hope you never lose that. You also have his calves, and well, let's just say that leg modeling could potentially be in your future. The two of you have the same little furrowed brows when you're thinking, and I love watching the wheels turn in your head while you try to figure out something new. <br />
<br />
Speaking of your Poppy, he loves you so much and it makes him so happy that you guys are besties. You may not understand this now, but many daddies and sons out there in this world don't have the type of relationship you two have. Your father will never allow someone to say he is babysitting you, because a real father doesn't babysit his own child. You are the first thing on his mind when he wakes up, and the last thing he thinks about when his head hits the pillow. When he's had a long day at the fire station, he comes home and will watch you sleep in your crib for up to 20 minutes.<br />
<br />
When the two of your hang out alone at home, I know that I will be greeted with a completely trashed house completed with a giant fort and every toy you own on the floor. But your laughter and smile from playing with your Poppy makes it worth it...even when I'm cleaning bubble residue off the TV, or prying a ninja sword out from under the bookshelf.<br />
<br />
From me, you've gotten your love of adventure, your desire to collect as much information as you possibly can, and a strong core belief that you can do things on your own. Unfortunately, you've also seem to have developed my bossiness. We'll work on that together.<br />
<br />
I adore that you love helping me cook and bake. Even though it takes 4 times as long to make something, and 10 times longer to it clean up, I look forward to turning around from the counter and seeing the chair you've brought over as you declare "Jackie help".<br />
<br />
These next few years will be huge for you as you continue to learn, gain independence, and expand your world. Poppy and I can't wait to be there with you to hold your hand when you ask for it, and give you little nudges when you need it.<br />
<br />
xoxo,<br />

My sis and Tammy had lots of adventures and a friendship that has been around since the earth cooled. I would link you to Tammy's blog, but eh hem, she hasn't updated it since NOVEMBER. (hint hint Tammy)<br />
<br />
Tammy's sister Sarah took up photography a year or so ago while living in Spain. Recently Sarah moved home to Washington and decided to open a <a href="http://www.sarahbunchphotography.com/">photography business</a>. I've admired Sarah's photos for a long time now, and was sooooo excited when Troy, Jack, and myself got to be a family of guinea pigs for Sarah's new venture.<br />
<br />
Sarah used to be a kindergarten teacher, so she was great with Jack despite the fact that he was a molar teething hellcat that morning. It was also farking cold, but it didn't seem to phase her as she climbed through bushes and mud to get the perfect shots.<br />
<br />
Despite the subzero arctic temps, my rambunctious and pesky toddler, and pausing for me to constantly wipe snot from my nose, we had a fantastic time with Sarah! We are beyond pleased with the photos (<a href="http://www.sarahbunchphotography.com/blog/?p=48">click here to view a sample</a> of our session), and are so thankful that these precious memories were captured by such capable hands.<br />
<br />
So, if you're in the Puget Sound area, and are looking for family photos, my family highly recommends Sarah for your photography needs! Oh, and she is fluent in Spanish which is muy bien. <span style="font-size: xx-small;">And yeah, I had to look that up on google translator.</span><br />

Yesterday his uncle Scotty (one of two) saw him and said "Baby Jack, when did you become a man"?<br />
<br />
And they say that kids always reflect parts of their parents. Jack has my pasty white skin and blonde coloring, my love of organizing and cleaning, a manic obsession with lights being turned off when you leave a room and chairs being pushed in, and my dislike of most vegetables. To date, Jack has Troy's furrowed brow scowl, and love of adventure, but nothing has really screamed "Troy".<br />
<br />
Until Saturday...<br />
<br />
My wonderful father-in-law Barry likes to tell a story about Troy when he was about 4 years old. Troy is known as "mumbles" because since he could first talk he has talked at almost a whisper or his mouth sounds like it's so full of marbles you can't understand what he is say. Verbal from The Usual Suspects was likely modeled after Troy.<br />
<br />
One day when Troy was little, Barry took him to get his allergy shots. They were standing on a street corner and all of the sudden Troy yelled "dad that lady is FAT". Barry recounts how in Troy's whole life he never spoke above a whisper, and yet he chooses that to shout.<br />
<br />
Flash forward to Saturday. Jack and I are at Fred Meyer when a very large man walks past us. Jack yells "Hi Santa Cwas"! Without stopping to think, I turn the cart out of the aisle and start heading the other way. Jack, thinking Santa was simply playing coy yelled "Hi hi hi Santa. Ho ho ho".<br />
<br />
With all the rain we've been having this winter, I had hoped a sinkhole would develop in the baking aisle of Fred Meyer. Alas, it did not.Sarahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05762894399698046201noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2343808680658778757.post-15528959332847509492011-02-08T16:12:00.001-08:002011-02-08T16:12:42.373-08:00The Boy Wonder reads<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.blogger.com/video.g?token=AD6v5dzMGVmcGesM79JEW7ELvR6JsaUSnqt6lpl0BWzhFbry-Q50C-SyF4L7AgCRI2C5Vt3Dd4_2lrufYMK2KZofAQ' class='b-hbp-video b-uploaded' frameborder='0'></iframe></div>Sarahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05762894399698046201noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2343808680658778757.post-1435550996571596132011-02-07T09:16:00.000-08:002011-02-07T09:16:12.291-08:00Stylin & profiling<em>Please do not adjust your computer settings - his head is truly that big.</em><br />

If you don't already use freecycle - you need to! It's kind of like craigslist, but everything is 100% free. You can send out emails saying you're looking for something, or have something to get rid of. I've scored nearly new toddler rain boots ($20 at Target), an almost new pair of snowpants that Jack can use in 1-2 years, and now Jack's play kitchen!<br />
<br />
J bone has LOVED to help me cook for months. It usually takes about 5 times as long to make the food, and 10 times as long to clean it up, but it's worth every second because it makes him so happy. I wanted to foster his love of cooking and encourage creativity, but there were two issues:<br />
<br />
1) we don't have extra money for a play kitchen<br />
2) we don't have extra money for a play kitchen<br />
<br />
Er...I guess that is just 1 issue.<br />
<br />
Anyhoo, I posted on freecycle that we were looking for a play kitchen. Withing 24 hours, someone responded that they had a wooden one that had been "rode hard and well loved, but it should clean up well". On MLK day, Jack and I drove out to the BFE portion of our county and picked it up. The little girl who had outgrown it came running out of her house with a huge bag of plastic food and said "he can have these too". SCORE! Freecycle isn't about bartering, but I did give them a fresh and still warm from the oven loaf of <a href="http://beingfrugalbychoice.blogspot.com/2010/11/make-some-dough-to-save-some.html">my bread</a> as a thank you.<br />
<br />
It stayed in Troy's truck for a few weeks, but finally this weekend we brought it upstairs after Jack went to bed and cleaned it up. "We" is a relative term because I made Troy do it all. We threw the plastic food in the dishwasher on sanitize. Troy covered the kitchen with a blanket, and we waited for Jack to wake up the next morning.<br />
<br />
The kitchen was A HIT! And who cares that it's pink!<br />
<br />

I'm doing my best to make clear to him that an onion, banana, egg, and a corn cob are not the core ingredients of a successful birthday cake. You have to give the boy credit for creativity though! And hey, the dinosaurs LOVED it.<br />

It's your job to nurture them and protect them. You watch and wait for every sign of advancement - "oh look, he's looking at me", or "he just rolled over"!<br />
<br />
As they age, there are less obvious signs of milestones. I feel that this morning, Jack definitely wanted me to know that he is no longer a baby, but a toddler - a little man. Moments ago as I was getting ready to eat lunch at work, I realized he made his point clearly by "packing my lunch" by adding a zebra when I wasn't looking. Perhaps he wasn't comfortable with the amount of protein I had packed for myself?<br />

She's rocks. She's kind, she is hilarious, and she is my best friend. She is also the reason that I can never truly use a hair dryer without giggling. Why you ask? Let me tell you a story...<br />
<br />
The year is 198(something) and I'm probably a 3rd grader, which means my sis is probably in the 6th grade. She was learning about human development and had learned that when a gentleman gets "hot", something happens. What the "something" was remained vague to our sheltered small-town minds.<br />
<br />
Around the time of human development lessons, I acquired two gerbils - first, Mr. Pipster (Pippy to his friends) and then Randy (named after the radio commercial character Randolph the Fibar Snack Bar Beaver. Don't ask, I won't be able to explain). We all lived a happy little existence in my messy room full of books and other nerd stuff.<br />
<br />
After Randy had been introduced to the cage, we were constantly worried that one them might get pregnant. Gerbils don't exactly come with identifying gender tags. Being the budding human growth and development whiz that she was, my sister decided that she would investigate this situation and report back.<br />
<br />
I watched with mild amusement while my sister held my poor defenseless gerbil by his/her tail and trained a hair dryer on to his/her nether-regions. After about 30 seconds of a steady stream of hot hair on his/her gerbil junk, my sister put him/her back in to the cage and declared that Randy was a girl. Her thoughtful hypothesis came about when she got the gerbil good and hot and NOTHING happened, ergo, Randy was a lady rodent.<br />
<br />
I'm not the best story-teller in the world, so perhaps you may not be able to appreciate how hilarious this story became once we actually learned a bit more about human development and realized how misguided her experiment was.<br />
<br />
A few other reasons I love my sister:<br />
1) she saw the title to this post and knew immediately what it was about<br />
2) she saw the title to this post and called me a few four-letter words for sharing it<br />
3) she is actively trying to figure out how to keep this from my brother-in-law Brian<br />
<br />

<br />
And now, for a few cute Jack stories:<br />
On Saturday I took Jack shopping at Fred Meyer (PNW grocery store). He knows when I say "let's go grocery shopping" it means he gets a free cookie from the bakery. The whole way over he was practicing getting his cookie. From the backseat, I heard the following on repeat for about 3 miles:<br />
<br />
"Cookies"<br />
"Ohhhhhh"<br />
"Tank YOU" (cause he knows he has to say that when someone gives him something)<br />
<br />
Once we got to the store, we were attempting to get down an aisle that was blocked by 3 people chatting. I said "excuse me", but they didn't budge. Jack yelled "HEY, BEEP, BEEP" and they quickly scooted out of the way.<br />
<br />
As I passed by, I realized they weren't native English speakers which is why my polite "excuse me" didn't register. Apparently, "BEEP BEEP" transcends nations, languages, and dialects.

He's moved up from the 20th to the 30th percentile!<br />
Length - 33 inches (?). He is at the 75th percentile. He constantly fluctuates between 75th and 80th for height.<br />
<br />
The pediatrician was very impressed with his verbal skills, and complimented us on his healthy diet and lack of TV watching. He does get to watch a little bit of TV each week when we need to do stuff around the house, but generally it's off all the time. The doctor also said he loved to see all the bruises on Jack's legs. He said he worries that 18 month olds without bruises aren't having enough fun. Hee hee.<br />
<br />
The doc told me that Jack's development is fairly advanced with words, signs, colors, counting, etc. Troy and I work with him, but much of the praise goes to my amazing Aunt Connie and Uncle Jim (Gackie and Unk Jim) who watch him 4 days a week. They love reading with him (except for "Are You My Mother"), and teach him lots of great things. Thank you!<br />
<br />
<strong><u>At 18 months, Jack is:</u></strong><br />
-Wearing 24 month or 2T shirts<br />
-Wearing 18 or 24 month pants<br />
-Can count to 10, but chooses to usually ignore "7" because 7 sucks<br />
-Is finally giving us kisses and hugs without being bribed. I like this new affectionate Jack!<br />

Many of the donations were annoymous, so I'm unable to write you a formal thank you. I appreciate the generosity and donations; every little bit helps in the end!<br />
<br />
The weather was nice, and Jack and I had 2 great friends and their son join us for the 5k. The whole thing was incredibly disorganized, but we enjoyed our time for chatting.<br />
<br />
At one point we got left behind by the crowd due to a potty stop. We couldn't figure out where everyone went (did I mention how disorganized it was?), so we decided that Lupus wasn't going to be cured by us wandering the downtown streets of Olympia. Instead, we headed off to a restaurant for chicken fried steak and eggs. One cannot cure Lupus on an empty stomach! Just a note that we were like 99.9% done with the walk. So, you didn't donate for me to eat CFS.<br />
<br />
Jack decided to voice his thoughts on Lupus:<br />
