Update on Jack

We have had a crazy busy summer and I haven't been the best at posting or taking pictures, but I wanted to give a quick update on our little guy and everything he's been up to.  Our biggest accomplishment is Jack being diaper free...he's completely potty trained!!  He tells us when he has to go but sometimes we still have to remind him when he's playing or busy doing something.  He did an amazing job with the transition and we are so happy!

Jack has also been in the Pre-School class at school for a few months now.  He loves his new class and is learning so much!  The other day his teacher told me he is a 5 year old boy in a 2 year old's body.  He can say (sing) his ABC's, he can count to 20 (but sometimes gets stuck on 16, 17, 18),  knows all his colors and shapes (loves playing with his flashcards) and loves singing Old MacDonald and Humpty Dumpty.  Jack is still doing very well in swim lessons but we've decided to take a break and this will be his last month.  We'll start him back up in February or March.  We put Jack in soccer and he loves it!  He hasn't been sick (no running nose or congestion) and we haven't been to the doctor since Jack got his tonsils and adenoids out in June (we were going to the doctor at least 3 times a month).  He eats so much better now and we can tell he feels great!  Our little guy is growing up too fast but we are so proud of the little boy he has become!  Here are a few pictures from the last few weeks.

Potty Time

We started potty training Jack three weeks ago.  The first week didn't go so well so we decided to take a break (he wasn't quite ready).  On Tuesday of this week, Jack came up to me and said "Mommy, I have to go pee pee" and off to the bathroom we went.  He told me he had to go two more times that day so we decided to give it another shot, and so far so good!  He's done very well this week and has only had a few accidents.  He's been wearing underwear since Thursday and only wears a pull-up at night.  We're so proud of him and so happy to be diaper free!

When Jack looks back at his blog as a teenager he is going to kill me for posting this picture, but I couldn't resist...it's so darn cute!

River Trip 2011

We went to the river with my family a few weeks ago (sorry, I'm so late posting this...things have been crazy).  We had a great time and Jack had a blast!  He loved the river water and loved jumping from rock to rock.  I forgot my camera (I told you things were crazy) but my brother took some good pictures.
