Sweet Jack: Backlogged December 2013


December 12, 2013

 
To My Sweet Jack,

 
Time is passing too fast and you are growing up before my eyes.  I can’t believe you are well into your two’s now and every day you are learning something new and surprising both your dad and I.  Over the past few months you have learned your months, how to count to 20, your ABC’s,  colors, shape, a whole bunch of different songs, and your vocabulary continues to grow stronger everyday.  It is just baffling to me how much you are learning at your new school, and how you run around applying what you learn.  I love in the morning hearing you sing in your crib, and when you are playing independently the discussions you have with yourself.  You like to count our toes (random I know), grab our faces with two hands and give us a big kiss, and your bear hugs are to die for.  You are sweet, loving, and so much fun to be around.  You eat like a bird and hate most things I make besides pasta but everyone tells me that is normal for your age.  You always seem to have a places to go and people to see flair about you, and it is very cute.  Being outside is your favorite, playing golf with your dad, and per the norm shooting hoops and kicking a ball round out your favorite past times.  You have taken a liking to Disney movies, especially the Lion King and really enjoy roaring.  It is kind of strange but I am just going with it.  You are obsessed with Thomas the Train, and loving going to the book store and playing with it.  You are an excellent helper around the house, and are extremely independent.  You have been attending a Montessori school for the past three months and I have been so incredibly pleased with your school, teachers, and curriculum.  You can pour your own milk, cut a banana, drink out of a cup without spilling a drop (as long as your use both hands that is) and will clean up whenever we ask (well 90% of the time).  As long as we sing the clean up song that is.

 

You were invited to attend your schools soccer camp despite being a year younger then what they normally require.  Your dad and I are very proud and love going to watch you.  It is adorable seeing you run around and also try to figure out what exactly you are doing.  Your coach says it is just good for you to be exposed even if you don’t get the formal aspect of it yet.  You also love going on Mr. Tommys Music Bus. 

 

Christmas is coming fast and this year is drawing to a close.  When I reflect back on you and your growth I feel so blessed that you are our son.  You have been resilient through so much change and have adopted to everything your father and I put in front of you.  2014 is sure to be a fun year welcoming your new baby brother, but for right now I just want to embrace every moment with you, my sweet little Jack.  I love you buddy!
