Rob caught this shot on his iPhone at our annual block party Monday. Jack was having a blast on the Jolly Jumper. He is becoming such a handsome young man. Lately he has really become a big boy. He loves his new big boy bedroom and has been sleeping well in his Ironman bed. Today he told Rob he didn't want to go to daycare. When Rob told him he had to because Daddy and Mommy have to go to work he said, "Jack stay home alone." The kid is not yet three and he already wants to stay home alone! He thinks he's such a big boy! Now if only we could convince him to use the big boy potty!Jack will be moving into his new "Big Boy" bedroom this weekend. His bed was delivered on Friday, we painted Saturday, and will finish the details today so he can sleep on his new Iron Man sheets for the first time tonight.
He was VERY excited about painting. He helped us pick out the paint color at Lowe's and by the time we got home he had already said, "Jack help paint!" about 100 times! He practiced using a brush and then the roller with Daddy's help. Of course he also practiced walking through the paint drips and tracking them all over his carpet! (Thank goodness for Resolve!) But it is all looking good and definately more appropriate for a big boy! (He has made it clear to us in no uncertain terms that he is NOT a baby anymore!) So say a little prayer that he makes a smooth transition to his fabulous new room...because that crib will be awfully crowded for him in about 7 more weeks! HA!
Another great weekend with Grandpa Nick and Tutu last weekend. We had such a lovely relaxing weekend with so many highlights! I think one of Jack's favorite parts was when Grandpa Nick set up the lighted Christmas decorations in the garage! He has been down there all week, checking them out every chance he gets! He especially loves the little Santa Claus, who climbs the ladder with his Christmas lights. I know he has several months to wait before they go on the front lawn, but he is really excited already. 
heavy objects. He loved using his karate skills to chop the sheets of styrofoam with his bare hands...HI-YAA! Super Jack!
When Grandma came up for a quick overnight visit on Monday, she brought a lightsaber that Pa found in his stash of cool stuff. Well, it had a loose wire, so Daddy and Jack pulled it apart and got it up and running perfectly! Jack loves helping Daddy work with tools and kept saying, "Jack do!"
He thinks the screwdriver is awesome and has a vague idea of what to do with it. Jack is thrilled with his new weapon for getting bad guys. What more could a superhero ask for?
Super Jack had three Ironmen, but one by one they would disappear. We rarely found more than one at a time. However, today was a great day! He actually had all three of his Ironmen at the same time! Here is is (with his pizza face) enjoying playing with two of the trio.
