Q&A with Jack - Age 2

I saw this really fun post where you ask your child/children random questions. The kid's answers were hilarious so I decided to do it with Jack. I love all of his answers! He is so funny and I don't know where he comes up with this stuff. I had to ask the questions throughout yesterday and today because I couldn't get it done in one sitting. I plan to ask him the same questions each year to see how his answers change. I love this little guy!!

1. What is your name?  "Jack Furman"
2. How old are you?  "I'm 2." (holds up one and half fingers)
3. What's your favorite animal?  "Peeto" (horse named Frito)
4. What is your favorite color?  "Blue"
5. Who is your best friend?  "Tyler Woooods"
6. What do you want to be when you grow up?  "Tiger, ROARRR"
7. What is your favorite movie?  "Cars"
8. What is your favorite book?  "ummm, I'm a T. Rec" (T. Rex)
9. What makes you happy?  "I'm happy!" (pointing to the big smile on his face)
10. What makes you sad?  "I'm not sad, I'm happy!"
11. What is your favorite food to eat?  "I like big noodles." (I think he meant cheese noodles.)
12. What is your favorite song?  "Old MacDonald, ee-igh, ee-igh, oh" (and started singing the song)
13. What is your favorite sport to play?  "Swimmin' lessons"
14. Where does Daddy work?  "At work, he goes bye bye."
15. Where does Mommy work?  "At home with Jack, on my cars."
16. What is your favorite dinosaur?  "Triceratop, he got big horns." (I threw this last question in. I love hearing him say it...he knows every dinosaur.)

Galveston - Day at the Beach

Saturday we went to the beach for the day. Jack loved everything about it and had so much fun! He walked up and down the beach looking for seashells (and came home with a bucket full), loved jumping the waves, hanging out in the water and playing in the sand. Everytime a wave hit him, he started laughing and was ready for the next one. We all had a great time and look forward to going back!

Toddler Bed

We converted Jack's crib into a toddler bed on Sunday.  I wanted to keep him in his crib for as long as I could but I knew it was time when his feet started getting stuck in between the bars (he's a crazy sleeper). He is very excited about his "big boy bed" (that's what he calls it) and is doing very well in it!  He hasn't once come out of his room and doesn't even try to get out.  I gave him a pillow to sleep on, hoping it would help him sleep straight and not all over the place.  It worked...he stays on the pillow all night.  He loves his new bed and we are so happy we made the change!


Little monkey jumping on the bed!

First night...sound asleep!


Coloring on his bed...not a good idea. I had to wash his sheets when he was done.

Bull Rider

The PBR (Professional Bull Riders) were in Gonzlaes this past weekend.  Jack loves watching bull riding on TV so my parents wanted to take him to it.  They had great seats (first row by the fence) and Jack loved it...he never left the fence!  They even had an old, very calm bull with very big horns (named Oliver) for the kids to sit on and take pictures. My mom put him on the bull and he threw his hand up like a bull rider,

Feeling Better & Happy 4th!

Jack started feeling better on Friday and by Saturday he was ready to go.  Jack ate ice cream, popsicles, yogurt and nutri-grain cereal bars for 11 days.  We tried giving him other soft foods (noddles, bananas, etc.) but they still hurt his throat.  Now he can eat whatever he wants and can breathe through his nose!  I could always hear him snoring or breathing heavy on the monitor when he was sleeping, but now I barely hear him...it's amazing!  It has been a rough week and a half but we are so happy he is back to his old self and feeling good! 

Do I feel up to it?

Yes, I feel much better! 

Here I come! 












We had a great 4th of July!   Larry's nieces, Christina and Ashley, came into town from Portland.  Christina has a daughter, Kadance, and she is so cute and full of energy.  Kadance is a few months younger then Jack so they had a great time together and we had a great time catching up with the girls!  Yesterday, we went to our favorite pool in The Woodlands.  Jack loves the water and loves going down the big slide (all by himself).

Kadance loved the pool and the balls















She loved the water table too!

Fun in the pool
I found this yummy recipe for homemade fruit and yogurt popsicles so Jack and I made them....he loved them!
Kadance liked them too!
