Big Successes, Tiny Set Backs

Again, crazy impressed with you, Jack! Two accidents today, but went in the potty 5 times and attempted several more times. This morning, there was a note on the door mat for Jack. Lightning McQueen sent a personal letter and included a sticker chart and a "big boy in training" certificate. We decorated the papers in glitter - FUN! and hung them in the bathroom. Still stayed dry even at the museum today! Way to go, Jack, or as Lightning might say, "KACHOW!"

Potty Learning is Great!

When I showed Jack his Lightning McQueen underwear today again in his drawer, he really wanted to wear them. I wasn't prepared at all to start "potty learning" this weekend, but when I saw how eager he was and then, how dry he was able to stay (!) well, I thought maybe we'll be okay. So we kind of through together the half-hearted plan I had and we were on our way. We had outings scheduled and he still stayed dry. I was pretty amazed actually. I have THE CUTEST pictures of him in his tiny little underwear that I can't even believe they make that small, and of him sitting on the potty in his firefighter hat and daddy with him in a gas mask, its too funny. But, with the big scare Oprah gave me last week about child-photo trading on the internet (to put it mildly) I'm just too paranoid to put them on the blog where they could get into the wrong hands.

He's growing up... ugh.

Doing Well!

Jack, you continue to amaze me all the time. By the end of the 2nd week, which was only 4 days (8 hours) with your class, you can name 6 out of 7 classmates on your own and 1 of your 2 teachers. You're not even 2 1/2! you are so cool! You really seem to enjoy it, your notes from school are very good, you've never cried when you've gone to school, and you're always smiling when I pick you up.

I think you might have a little crush on Hannah, you talk about her the most. : )

First Full Day of School

You did so great today, even while others were melting down, you seemed so strong! You didn't cry, but mommy did. I was okay until I picked you up and they brought you out to the car and you just looked so tiny, but so brave and courageous and BIG all at the same time.... I got a flashback of bringing you home for the first time, so tiny. You were smiling so big, holding your teachers hand and trying to keep your miniature backpack on your shoulders. My heart melted. How could I forget in only two hours how cute and sweet you are?

First Day of School

Okay, so Daddy keeps reminding me its not really your first day of school since its pre-school, BUT you and I both know this is the first day of the rest of your school days, SO, technically, yes, its your very first day of school! I'm so excited for you.

Little sister was giving big high fives to cheer you on this morning.


Today was actually visiting day, so the whole family was there to support Jack. You were such a big boy. You met Mrs. Lawrence and played with cars, worked on several puzzles and colored. We checked out Rylan's class and the playground, too. I think this will be great for you.
